Messy Love

So you say it’s over

You say we’re through

And you would kill me if I spent another moment near you

Nothing left to plan for

No rainbow’s end

No perfumed letters or flowers left for me to send

Accept the finish

The end of our messy love

So you never fancied me

And like you say

My money justified our shitty love life anyway

A fumble here and there

Like awkward doves

Was just enough to pay for all the trappings you’d been dreaming of

A tidy Fortune

The end of our messy love

Oh it’s so tragic but it happens every day

Heats of stone converge and chisel all the love away

But you hated me and I hated you through everything and come what may

It’s bitter in the end

And it really is the end

Forget the anguish

Forget the pain

Forget the customary groping in the rain

If nothing else it serves

To illustrate my plea

The utter desperation that I have for us to agree

Let’s pull it all together

And put an end to our messy love

I gave you contacts

I gave you friends

But something else I gave you will kill you in the end

All my indiscretions

And numerous they be

Will see you left with some disease that no one else can see

My ugly testimonial

The end of our messy love
