Never Meant To Be
I'm aware I write too many poems about you
You’re my muse when I sing the blues
I know I cry myself to sleep at night
Knowing that you made me endure torment out of spite
Your ego was so heightened
And your grip on my spirit made me frightened
You controlled my every emotion
You made our lives a colossal commotion
I desperately wanted to breathe in tranquility
Between us, there was no civility
No, we didn’t strike or thrash
It was organs you loved to slash
You found glee in being the nice guy
How can I put this? You don’t apply
You fell short of being the victor
Why? Because I could’ve made your life richer
They say all is fair in love and war
But why would you do that to me, mi amour?
You want perfection when it doesn’t exist
We both know you’re a hedonist
You cried to make yourself the victim
You created this unique and bizarre system
I watered the droughts with my damp eyes
When you started the journey to our demise
To pause the moment, I begged, pleaded, and implored
All my screams and fits were ignored
The second time around
I didn’t peep a sound
I was an essence, compassionate, and benevolent
All of that was irrelevant
I became the villain in your story
Destroying me was mandatory
Living without you is emptiness and shame
Knowing I’ll never have your last name
Im dying from the lack of love
You pushed your life forward with a shove
Soon it will be a whole year
Don’t answer that, I don’t want to hear
Will you even remember my name?
Don’t answer that either, my body will inflame
I know I shouldn’t but I’ll ask one last favor
Don’t tell fibs and be someone’s savior
Don’t you dare break another sweetheart
Because I’ll murder you and make it a work of art
I get it, we weren’t meant to be!
But I’ll flame you alive for being her absentee
Oh, baby, I know you too well
If you don’t change, I’ll make your mind and body dispel
