Baby, baby, why you gotta be so mean?
Why you gotta throw curve ball after curve ball at me?
Why you gotta take the sun and scorch my eyes?
Baby, baby, why you always gotta tell me lies?

Baby, baby, can't you take a breath, take a swallow, take a pill?
Can't you just show some sympathy for my broken will?
Can't you just ease up a little bit?
Baby, baby, can't you let me rest and sit?

Yes, yes, I know I've been flying without my halo
I know I turned the whites of your eyes to yellow
I know I made you frown instead of laugh
Yes, yes, I know I've gone done all of that.

Yes, yes, I recognize I mastered the plan,
I recognize I dealt you a fucked up hand,
I recognize that you're finished and through
Yes, yes, I recognize every part of you.

Please, please don't let your pout persist
Don't tell me we can't coexist,
Don't hit me upside the head,
Please, please don't wish me dead.

Please, please see that I've stumbled
See that I discarded my dis, my gruntled
See that I'm left bloodied and bruised
Please, please see that I'm done being used.

You're like Jim Carrey at the end of ESOTSM.

Now you see why I like to be friends with my exes. I don't want to feel like they have to be an unperson because we aren't romantic anymore. I want my memories, and yes, I want the pain that sometimes comes along with them.

Call me if you need me. Okay?

braiurism, or whoever or whatever the hell you are, fuck off you fucking nazi coward. Second of all, Awesome Zara: a beautiful poem. If that's how you write late at night, than you should write late at night more often.

Late at night, things calm down...

The mind has a chance to breath, recharge, evaluate.

I recognize this frame of mind.

I've been there before.

I hope this is cathartic for you.

Time to let it go.

Or bury it.

Whichever's easier.

; p

Well why the hell not?
