Careless Words
.
Were you feeling swank
when we sat and drank
were you feeling bigger than life
as you introduced me as your first wife?
[the dream you never had time for]
Did you ever think
your words might cause me to weep
when you whispered,
'welcome home baby'
just at the crest of my shoulder
did you notice how much older i was...
...still under the influence of dreams
mixed with screams...
looking over your newly framed deck,
as you laid those careless words
at the curve of my neck...
did you hope to inspire desire
or was it just a passing moment
as you remembered your place
was once our home?
In which you now live alone...
careless used words cut to the bone...
I was a visitor
seeing a friend
but you had to test my heart
drama 101...
riveted to the step
I made not a single sound
you knew a tear would fall,
I hope it watered weeds,
I've no flowers left to give you
you've scattered all the seeds
careless as a laughing clown
can you hear your resonance in the air?
You've left me empty
in despair
emotionally never there
just some guy
in some chair
breathing air
looking cool
playing his on fool
tossing careless words
meaning nothing
but the drama of your moment
pushed on me just so you could see...
what a sad ass destiny.
Enjoy that green chair,
don't bother calling to ask if I care,
I don't want to, need to hurt you...
...don't want to be like you are.
