I packed up my life
Into 10 mid-sized boxes...
I had to go,
I couldn't keep chasing foxes...
And
I couldn't breathe
The very air
It felt so toxic...
Set my world a spin
Into the deepest dark
She rocked it...
-
I had to go
I didn't know
What else existed.
By now
I should have had a child
I hope I didn't miss it...
She didn't want my love
My heart
She steadily dissed it.
And I was too infatuated.
Her ass, I always kissed it...
-
I gave her eight and a half years
And two more after that.
Not worth any of the tears
And fears
I wish that I
Could take it back.
And
She knew just what she did
I was constantly
Under attack.
Cut me into pieces
So facetious
All behind my back.
-
I broke those shackles
Dropped the chains
Way back in '22
Walked through all the storms
And the flames
To turn my back on you.
You tried to keep me
Tied down in your shame.
And bring me back to you
But I already tempered
My refrain
Yeah, I was slacking too...
-
I used to see those ghost of you
Walking around town.
But they no longer haunt me
They are not daunting
They do not make a sound.
They only notice
When I notice
I don't turn around.
I'm pretty sure I dreamed you
It's much easier
To turn her down.
-
All that unused love inside of me
Was trapped like a tsunami...
It kept on boiling over
Your stove top
With my umami...
Pulled me way down
Far underground
Trapped like a zombie...
I was seeking peace
Trying to break free
Caged like Gandhi...
