I can’t get you off my mind,
But it’s not cause I still love you; I don’t.
It’s just that it hurts when I hear about all that happiness you flaunt
Without me,
And it’s undoubtedly
Due to my selfish hope that you still need me,
Even though I’m clearly
The one who can’t function.
It’s partially your fault for conditioning me to operate at late hours to talk to your tedious ass on the phone.
But it’s also my fault, though a little less so, for allowing myself to buy into the flowers and rainbows your smile would show.
You told me you loved me.
I guess your word ain’t good for shit.
Like a dollar that found it’s way into a Chinese fighting pit.
I thought I meant something,
But I guess I was just being special.
Cause you flipped me like a retard,
My love life looking abysmal.
Instilled cutting remorse.
Then you ride the first jockey
That’ll make you his main horse
You fucking whores,
You’re multiplicatively ugly.
But I guess I’m the real loser cause I thought you would love me.
I wanted it easy; not even the sex.
I wanted a girl that I would never suspect
Could live without me
That’s a rat’s move
I know that that’s true.
But I had you;
The power I exercised
Was like a bad flu.
It made me feel like shit,
But it
Gave me a nurse,
A caretaker that I thought I’d bring to my hearse.
It’s perverse.
But you were a curse;
Insignificant “love” that you’d liberally disperse.
It hurts.
But I’ll get over it.
This phase is a dirt hill,
I’m about to Land Rover it.And now I’m staring out that window sill,
Wondering still,
If I made the right move.
Insecurity, hesitation got me out of my groove.
But what can I do?
It was me who said it was through.
You have every right to move on.
This inner struggle’s my fight,
And until I win, this mask I don.
Til dusk,
I gaze
At the waning moon.
What I thought was the pain in you,
Was my emotional monsoon.
Cause it was me with separation anxiety,
I’m the one fucked in the head,
Excuse my impropriety.
But the chaos that ensues
In my head and heart
Tells me we were dead from the start,
It’s time I part
With any lingering affection
In the interest of the protection of my bleeding heart,
Pierced by darts,
Like it was painted with concentric circles.
Telltale like a bar-
Tender.
And this bleeding renders
Ever more hemoglobin and plasma,
For you.
But I got it back with the stamp that says “Return to Sender.”
I used to die in your arms at night,
Like you were Slender.
I think I’ll miss that the most,
That childish love is a ghost.
And it’s time to once again thrive.
I will survive,
Then do a running backflip,
No, not just to entertain her,
But cause the art is in the departure,
There’s Gloria in a Gaynor.
Not sure if you caught all the references.
But I am cleverer in pain, that’s what the mechanism of my defense is.
