The Pulling Pain

I try not to feel it
Will time heal it
If I just let it burn
But the world just turn
And they grasp my arms
Tell me they’re keeping me safe from harm
And I feel the burning within
It all came from him
As I can barely hold on
To what is long gone
And who I am craves for his flesh
The terror to think he might regret
Ever knowing me
I cry on the phone, the tears are flowing from me
As he grits his teeth and his tongue clicks
And one of his best friends says he can be a dick
And I just think of that Taylor Swift song
What if I was wrong
And you never loved anything
And the ring
I thought I would wear
Is just part of the dress that would tear
As she wears it down the aisle
And I watch you smile
Right into the face of your demise
But there’s death in your eyes
And it’s something I cannot avoid
It’s not like just loving one of the boys
It brings me to the brink of surrender
And a day that you “barely remember”
And I wonder if the gaslit anthem plays
Or if there’s any truth in what he says
When he says that I am beyond the pale
Is it just that I am not up for sale
That gets under his skin
And he was flush with the cash but I wanted him
Not the dollars he owes
To the person whose garden he sows
With seeds aplenty
But I look at him and his face is empty
Devoid of all emotion
And the commotion
Gets too loud
So I let the borrowed fools crowd
Around me and operate
On the person who just wants a date
Sometime in April, coz it’s just the right air
It would be great if you could meet me there
If she lets you slip away
Out of her grasp and the break of day
Sounds a new dawn
If you look to me you will see what was never gone
Only unobserved
I gave you my word
