Assorted Poetry and Idle Musings
I hope you stay lonely

I hope you stay lonely

I was never yours and you weren't mine, but I'd think of you from time to time

And when I did all that came to mind was a simple life so sublime

You'd bake for me, I'd sing for thee, we'd both recite bad poetry

I'd be your devil, you'd be my saint, our studio? splattered with paint

When I get home yeah you'd be there, prancing around in your underwear

And when a bug gives you a scare, in a heartbeat I'd be there

Because you know that I care.

Now your off with some other guy, when it comes to me you've got no time

I thought maybe you could teach me to love again, and now you don't even want to be my friend?

This is the thanks I get for standing by your side? For shoveling tons of your shit in stride?

What changed, oh right, you started riding a new dick, one attached to a possessive lunatic

Move away, quit your job, have no one but him, base your entire life around his beck and whim

Abandon your family, forsake your friends, give up your art, why can't you see he's tearing your life apart?

He knows what he's doing, he's half again your age. For fuck's sake girl, he's got a myspace page!

I've always known you were kind of vapid, bouncing from this and losing that hella rapid

But is he really worth sacrificing everything else for? Career, Friends, Hobbies, Passion; all no more.

Was I nothing but the odd free meal, sound counselling and a set of wheels?

You were evidently lying when you said you wanted to be with me, but what about the future you convinced me to see?

I fell for your girlish game, I exposed year's old pain, yet you just walk away and I think it a shame

Because now you'll get what you deserve, you picked a lying snake over a man of his word

Someone who knows you will cheat since he stole you from another

Someone who will isolate you then leave you a single mother

When that day comes, I won't be around, I've returned my heart to ash-blackened ground

I thought we might be more but I was wrong, so have fun with your cheating groomer, that's right where you belong.
