I Got Your Letter As School Started
----------
Thirty tear-splashed pages
My response with runny ink
Not us anymore, don't you think?
Fire consumed it in a blink
You just left me!
Okay, you had a chance
You could not pass up
For our romance
I get that but...
I said someday I'd marry you
You threw it right in my face
So I'm the non-Greek Catholic geek?
Well, stick this in your Orthodox socks
That's the last time you'll disgrace
This young Irish fool!
Sated, but not happy anymore
I am quick out the bed, going home
After pleasing another random girl
I AM good enough for
To see you swish and twirl
Through my rattled dome
But I hope you sense or know
How I just made HER toes curl
How could you say
Over a year every day
How much you loved me
But at the last drive away°
Like I'm just a roll in the hay?
How could you tell me
I'm just for college
I'm a temporary smidge
That we're not bound to be
You give us short time
Then leave for half of it
You tell me "Have a nice life!"
But you get a pass for it?
And I'M that ***hole kid!?
What's that bull****?!
It is just nuts!
Am I too poor and not tan?
Am I too pale to be your man?
So what! SO WHAT!
How could you dis me like that
Dismiss me like that
And then give an act
Like I hurt YOU so bad?
Making it all so breezy
You pop up and ask me to visit you
'Cause I have to show YOU something?
After telling ME I can't be your Everything!
And rolling away like I'm NOTHING!
Dancing to your same tune
For you, leaving was easy!
Now, Little Rich Girl
Write and tell me about your adventures
I will listen awhile
In lands I dream to see, but cannot be
You spoiled child
Tell me how great it is
Tell me how your heart is light
Tell me it all
I want to hear it, right?
Yeah. Not a'tall
Tell me where you go
While I do the same crap
We did back here
While I stay trapped
Your outgrowing shows
I give up. I'm done.
You are NOT the One
I'm not writing
Even one letter, "My Friend"
That I will send
I'm not the stupid kind
I see the request to write back
Jump through the hoops you stack
Maybe you want me back
I can read between lines
I can hear you again
I can sense your smell
I see your face, taste your lips...
Damn it all to HELL!
Where's my pen?!
