When We Look Back

When you look back
at all this mess
will you laugh?
Or will you smile
and nod.
Saying that was fun?
Will you remember all
my kisses?
All I've said out
raged human emotion,
I wish I could take it back.
Pretend I've never loved you.
But I still here and you
smell is on my clothes and
I can't wash away all you've done.
I begin to feel less and less
as each day goes by. I wonder
how long it will be until I
feel nothing. I realized something
today...all you feed me are excuses.
Why you want to even keep me
around in the first place I'll]
never understand. That if you
cared for me like you claim you
do, you let me go. You wouldn't keep
hurting me. And perhaps you
hole no restraights, but your words
and your kisses keep me right where
you want me. I am your puppet,
your fool. And when I finally realize
that you are nothing but a broken
heart I'll be set free.
You say you don't want me
to just go away, and yeah the
point has been made perfectly
clear that you want me to wait.
You say you are only with her
to help her. Then why must she
sleep in your bed, hold your hand,
and kiss your lips. Friends can
sometimes offer more help than
any lover can. So I suppose
it's just another one of your
excuses, and you can't tell
me why you are still with her.
So I will stop asking, and
stop believing that I'll be the
one standing in the end.
I'll stop believing all your
stories about how it'll all
be ok. It's beyond that. I'm
not ok. I'm not ok! So when
I look back on this I'll laugh,
smile,nod my head, say, "yeah,
that was fun."
