You broke my heart wide open
Now it's just broken

See that chasm?
Let's jump in.
There is love down there.

All the love I had
That smothered you
Was probably just projection
Of how much I love me
Anyway

I spent so much time
Refusing to think about
What I saw in you
That I don't really remember
What I saw in you anymore
You are just a judgemental
Cranky old man

No song
And no poem
No self work
No going within
No amount of
Growth
Therapy
Or success
No high vibes
Self purpose
Happy energy
Hope
Faith
Or manifestation
Nothing
Brings you back to me

You thought I was desperate
I wasn't, I was in love
Deeply, tragically, in love.
All of your negative thoughts about me
Are wrong
Just like all of my positive thoughts about you
You will never understand what you've lost
Just as I will never understand I haven't lost anything

I suppose
If you choose a woman
With my name
You never have to worry
About calling her Nicolle
By mistake
