sometimes love goes south

down & out

By Rae RaePublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I got fooled

Fooled by you

It’s all good-

It’s cool.

I never needed to be told how I was any good.

I know what’s in my soul.

I got a Neil Young heart of gold.

Like a dream I always asked you to come visit me

Maybe it is better not remembering.

I’m not sure.

You know what you do to me

Had me laid out

Low down

Heart fluttering.

I saw the dark side of the moon last night I saw the light.

If it’s true what they say about love/ that you’re better off broken then never knowing, then fix me something.

It was a time and place.

Oh you remember me from back in the day? I remember you being so strange.

You stopped just short of breaking my heart. I kind of wanted you to go all the way.

I wanted you to make me cry.

Not this bitter sweet bullshit.

I started sleeping with the light on.

Once I realized you were long gone.

Now you’re taking me far away.

Now you’re taking me all the way.

Some days I stay inside

And wish you weren’t on my mind but by my side.

And I could not believe it I could not believe it.

Here we go, another day gone. Another love of mine destroyed. You were a man. You were a mean man.

I miss you would

drag me over

pick me up by my legs

pull me over

Tell me secrets

Tell me now

I know that you want me

I know that you’re haunting me

I know you don’t want me to know.

But I know.
