”SHE SAID”

I am mute, unable to defend myself.
I had my reasons you know.

Yeah?
Well they never made sense to you, let alone anyone else.

You’ve always been a liar

and for the first time I’m lying now
I don’t miss you baby
I don’t crave your touch
I don’t miss anything about you
I don’t miss making

I’ve tried to be honest with you
lies are a cancer
no laser can burn away

It’s about time
you tried the facts on for size
my life has been shaved
and poured in to a suit and tie

I convinced myself
you loved me
with an epidemic of
the worst poetry known to man.
