I Can’t Believe You Left It There

It was New Year’s Day
And you had put our things away
When I saw her look at you that way
And your protests fell on deaf ears
Like your promises did with my tears
And I saw it all spiral down
Through our facebook town
You know the one that takes a village
To find the truth and spill it
Like blood on the floor
And the one I adore
Has been keeping a secret
And our war of words got heated
As I screamed into the wind
And he looked for the courage he’d sinned
As I told him to go eff himself
And he complained that his mental health
Couldn’t withstand such an onslaught
So I bottled it up
Don’t you dare try to call this love
I will just depart
But when I do I’ll take your heart
With me as I go
And leave a god shaped hole so that you know
Just what you lost
I look at her and pay the cost
And sigh
This has been the longest goodbye
I wonder if I’ll ever break the chain
Or if the rain
Is just a sign that clouds change
And what is stellar will rearrange
Itself around planetary bodies
And your one of those oddities
Who can look with true eyes
Through the web of his own lies
