i care what people think
i'm now standing at the brink
in one hand p'haps my last drink
my mind and heart out of sync
n'er been a great swimmer so maybe i'll sink
my eyes move to the sky, strangely pink
even if i want to, i can’t blink
until i hear the distant clink
wait, where am i? aloud i think
in my office, says the shrink

I walked away, weak
I looked ahead, bleak
I endured pain, strong
I thought of dying, wrong
I built over, alone
I started smiling, milestone
I laugh and live, selfish
I’m not looking back, you wish

You tease me
with fleeting kisses
You whisper in my ears
your dearest wishes
You profess to love
all my broken pieces
You keep saying
you’ll keep your promises
So why am I in tears
just like your ex misses?

How can he wipe days of heartache with just a smile and a hug...
He sweeps everything under the rug
With a careless shrug
At my heartstrings he manages to tug
Even with a mean mug
He looks smug
He knows he’s my drug
Just like I’m his eternal snug

We were audacious
But never ostentatious
He was definitely flirtatious
He explained, I was curvaceous
He couldn’t help but feel salacious
I was going to say, oh Lord Jesus
But I’m not religious
Besides, his kind of dangerous
was very contagious
I couldn’t help but feel rapacious
