Band - Aids and Painless Showers

Like a band-aid
I thought the quick and fast
pull-it-off approach might be best..
The type of break-up
that doesn't linger on.
It hurts like hell
but it's over with fast.
Then, I thought
nah-  I'm not that brave.
I'll take it slow
with each tug moving closer and closer
to the final end -
where we both agree - it's over.
Sure it hurts
but the agony is rather dulled
and more easily endured.
Are those the only choices ?
Fast and painful
or slow and agonizing.
I'm really not into pain right now.
So I guess I'll leave that sucker in place.
Hey -  I could soak it in water.
The glue will dissolve.
We'll be rid of the damn thing
but it won't hurt.
I'm so smart.
Works for band-aids.
But how can you soak a romance in water?
Hey - Honey
want to take a shower together ?
Sounds painless to me.
