I have to fake cynicism 
To hide the rhythm 
My heart beats when you enter 
Don’t you know you are front and centre
And I memorise Taylor Swift coz you said you liked her
Now I think you might gaslight her
For all she’s come to mean to me
And the riverbed that was set free
When I leaned into your account
And there is no amount
Of bills in the bank
Who could venerate the God I thank 
For bringing you into my life
We’re talking and now I am your wife
As we trade casual insults over the phone
And I forgot to click home
When I was searching for your name
Now I just search for something to blame
In the dark anthem you parade
Were you just something to save
And now surplus to requirements 
I am not invited to events
As you sashay with birds and chill
Waiting for them to do your will
And I’ve studied form but it didn’t prepare
Me for when the moment scare
Me into submission
And by my own admission
I gave you permission 
To tread broken glass and leaves
And no one believes 
My version of events 
When we were nomads in tents
Searching for our souls
And the thunder rolls
To announce your presence there
Is it right that life isn’t fair?
