Gave my breath
To what I had left
In the dark with a cigarette
An empty bed
And just one barrette
I hope you get some rest
Gave you my best
I know I won't forget
Our melancholic duet

I want to change
I swear I do
But it can't
Be a condition
Set on a timeline
Cause I thought
You fell in love with me
For who I am
Not knowing who I'd become

I wear goofy
Cause sad isn't in style
And I may not be a comedian
But I'm worth your while
I have memorized
Too many dad jokes
To not make you smile
And when the fun is over
I'll go back to the gloom
Till I can be the idiot
Who lights up a room

One of nine Muses
"Beautiful voice"
The patron
Of poetry
And heroic song
Homer's inspiration
Never forget who you are

I keep trying
To convince myself
That I don't care
Then I catch myself
Thinking about
The fact that you
Are not holding my hand
Not laughing at my jokes
Not enjoying my flowers
So I'll keep trying
To convince myself
That I don't care

"I'm trying to be like you."
I didn't know
How to respond
So the first thing
That flew out of
My stupid mouth was
"You've got a long way to fall."

Saw an old friend today
He looks so
Happy.

An old friend saw me today
I looked so
Different.
