Deaus Ex Machina
by rudewhitebitch

I remember during our last arguement
How you said I wasn't trying hard
Enough to be the rubber cement to
Hold us together and how I was always
Somewhere else whenever we were together

And then you called and left a burgandy
Heart-shaped stain on my answering
Machine saying you acted like a dick
And wanted me to call back so you can
Hear my voice and be reconciled to
The fact that I always come back like a
Beaten dog with it's tail between it's legs

And you said you loved me

You just want "I love you" to be another
Form of the meaningless sex you live for

I hate to disappoint your need for self-
Induced dominance, but I think you should
Know something before you start your victory beers

I never loved you

I just loved the way you made me feel
Like maybe I was almost worth it
Like maybe I was something special
Like maybe I was more than a girl with
A dirty mind and dirty thighs
Until I realized that love shouldn't
Make me feel like your whore

So go take your pretty face and your
Heart-attack eyes that girls think about
With their hand between their legs
And find another girl to be yours

I could go hang myself on a phone cord
To stutter out these sentiments just
To hear you laugh and say what a crazy
Girl I am, but that's why you love me
And I'd lacerate my knees in the glass
Littered gutter crawling back to you

But I'm leaving the phone off the hook

Converse with the dial tone
It won't talk back to you
