The Return of Love

You ask to come home,

you're preaching amends;

Sunday repentance for Saturday sins.

You're awfully cute,

oh boy, you're so charming,

The way you run off;

boy, it's awfully alarming.

You promised me magic,

you promised the stars,

You took off, you took shots

with sluts at the bars.

Your abandonment hit me like a ton of bricks;

The deeper the love, the more pain it inflicts.

It's more than hurt feelings,

I am fucking pissed.

You hijacked my life

the first time that we kissed.

You were easy to love, so sexy and sweet;

Your flowery promises reek of deceit.

Just tell the truth! Do you ever quit lying?

I bet you got nervous when I got done crying.

You're throwing a tantrum,

you sound like a child.

You ran off to Texas, you ran fucking wild.

Did you wear out your welcome by acting a fool?

You quit using drugs, now you're a dumb, drunken tool.

You've always been faithful to your own selfish need;

Self absorbed prick, you think only you bleed.

You smile like an angel while lies freely flow.

My faith in you crumbled when you chose to go.

I tried all I knew to drive you from my head.

I'm sick of your ghost, he won't leave my bed.

Can I ever forgive when I feel so betrayed?

Can you ever grow up and stop running afraid?

I know what you're doing, I know you very well.

I know not to count the countless lies you tell.

You say I grew prettier, you say I grew stronger,

You say we won't be apart for much longer.

Blinded by love, I grew far too dependent;

Vision clears when love fades,

only hate is transcendent.
