I should have listened
To every word she said
Every promise of destruction
That fell off her lips
Always a glutton for punishment
She showed me how this all works out
But I've not taken notes
And its like a fucking train wreck
Every time that she is right
About it all
She told me
"We're not meant to touch, me and you
and I'm sorry, I just can't love you like I should"
Forever parallel
With nothing we can do
And here I thought she would cure my wounds
Her tongues a weaving needle
Her loving words a thread of truth
But we were just leaning too much weight
On fraying nerves that arc until they fracture
Her tongues a weaving needle
These links are plagued by constant strain
Until the ties cannot last
We were the bend and then the break
I knew the moment that it snapped
When she gently grasped my hand
She pressed her lips against me
Stepped back to heave a sigh
She turned her back and walked away
As I broke clean in half
