Did you have fun?
Was it good to entertain yourself with me
For a time.

You held me against the wall
The wall that you created within yourself
Watching you hum and play
On your centerstage
Remember the night I wore red
Or when your best friend
Told me I was out of your league
To which I replied
Every queen needs a king.

I watched you go
But only through my cellphone screen
You stopped replying
I stopped indicating
It was like the drunken nights
Where you kissed my cheek
Or asked for more time with me
Like it had all come and gone.

You covered all the great songs
And behaved as if you felt deeply
Whenever I poured into the sadness
Of the melodies that know me best.

I wonder how you must feel now
Working away at that 9-5
Playing in those bands like you some kinda star
You worshipped me
When you thought I had something to offer you.

Your timing like the drop of a clock
You shoulda known better
You coulda done better
But you're just a child
Just a child who fancied himself
A big shot
For spending time with me.
