I cry a lot lately
I will write those words in the book
Though they’re your words
That you miss took
I am not sure you can even see ( I hope)
The affect they had on me
It is because I know you hate me
For the change that must have taken place
But it never really occurred
It was just waiting to be
I don’t love you any less
There is just a little bit more of me
That we both had yet to see
Leaving a little less of you in my view.
And it does hurt me
When I hear you say
"You know I cry a lot lately
At almost any damn thing
If there’s a chance for a tear
I am there first
Beating everyone with my flood."
