a simple cup of coffee,
or so i thought
i picked you up, and drove
to that place we used to bond
sit on the same side of the booth to be closer
"youre always too far away..." you said
but from this vantage point, i can see you straight ahead
my boots knocking your tennis shoes
every time i shift
i cant help but avert my eyes
from what i wished i could see
and you told me of her
and her beauty, her life
and how we, we just werent much anymore.
nothing much at all.
time to take a risk, you say
...you never took a risk for me
i was never worth it
youve just gotta seek perfection, sweetie
you keep hunting,
looking, desperately searching
for that better half
youve just gotta forget the mistakes, sweetie
look me over
paw me, but dont love me
im only the half to tide you over
we both know ill still be here to witness the aftermath
of your poor poor broken heart.
god knows that i dont have feelings.
what i feel is futile, and reactionary at best
im not really real
im content with my love for you now though
its just going to be there
to be,
and nothing more
i cant try, and i cant breathe for you anymore
it hurts
and im better than that
and in the future, maybe we can chat
you can tell me about the wife and kids
ill tell you about my new job and husband
and you can lie away again
and so can i
nothing ever changes with you sweetie
and seemingly, niether do i.
ill send you christmas cards,
and youll send me flowers
the day that shes gone
and im already halfway around the world.
and youre gonna have a beautiful life
youll probably do one tenth of the bullshit you say
which would still be alot
and ill still love you
and send you postcards from tibet
....and fake my interest
as i nuzzle up to a new life
that you walked into to late
in my new life
that you werent ready to start
for once, ill be the one smiling
ill finally be home.

there is freedom within/ there is freedom without/ try to catch the deluge in a paper cup/ theres a battle ahead/many battles are lost/but youll never see the end of the road when youre traveling with me....NF.
