So you found someone else,
and displayed her in front of me.
was that supposed to sting?
so she does all your laundry
and doesn't spend all of her time
writing poetry
was i supposed to show you guilt?
so she plays the perfect girl,
and i was just being me
because i thought that was enough
for you
i didn't change, not since the
first time you said you loved me
i started to change when you
stopped saying the words
and i wrote and wrote and wrote
but you hated it when i buried myself
with words,
said it was "just a waste of time, would you
grab me a beer?"
and i poured half of the bottle in a glass
because that's all i can give,
take it or leave it...
and took it, you did
but you never poured the rest in yourself....
so i saved all my indifference in an empty
bottle and sealed it tight.
i didn't know that as it ages it turns to hate...
no, it don't sting!
no, i don't feel guilty!
you should have let me go
when i could still feel the pain,
not now, when all i can feel is relief...
