"Rough"
I wasn't looking for a while
Figured I'd graduate before next trial
Took a trip to Sicily and Rome
Found a girl from close to home
She had a boyfriend whom I knew
But we broke the rules in a week and a few
She then fell ill from severe dehydration
On the long flight home from our school vacation
I cared for her tenderly on the plane
I wanted to cure her every pain
When we returned she left him for me
My heart and my life were full of glee
I fell madly in love so very quickly
An hour apart and I felt quite sickly
She was all that I wanted in my life
I truly believed that she'd be my wife
One day she and I had a miniscule fight
The next day our flame wasn't so bright
I just need some time, on her sofa, she said
At that moment I wished I were dead
On a trip to Jersey while reuniting together
She answered my question soft as a feather
It stabbed through my heart and into my soul
I spent several hours wailing next to the bowl
Empty inside I emerged from the bathroom
I knew at this point I would not be her bridegroom
I questioned and blamed and accused her of lies
But I could only forgive by the time of sunrise
She said nice things to grow my hope strong
But neglected to mention my wait would be long
She blew me off the very next weekend
To join again with her pervious boyfriend
She drew me back in then pushed me away
She wanted me back then him the next day
This lasted for months of agony and pain
But I held on to hope she'd be mine again
I saw her with him and caught her in lies
As Oedipus I thought I'd gouge out my eyes
For my own survival we had to part
So I burned all bridges to my sweetheart
