Your beauty Shot through me Assigning a duty I knew I'd be losing So I made an advance And you declined I knew I had a slim chance But I was still losing my mind
I felt stupid I felt weak Why did Cupid Make me weep? From behind the gate he keeps He shot arrows penetrating deep That made me fall for the elite Only to be trampled by feet
I saw perfection Feed me rejection I cursed my reflection And avoided detection After losing the election You could tell I was bitter So you left me to wither And call you a sinner For not eating my dinner Feeding damage inner Rotting my liver
I was gobsmacked By the odd lack Of contact With your fond laugh Sitting there seething To white noise on the TV Sounding like the rain heaving Or a pack of coyotes eating My still beating heart You're the fleeting spark That leaves me dark
I wished there was no one on Earth So you could be as lonely as I After you took all my self worth And left me to die I reached for a piece of the pie Then you made me reach for the sky Using the pistol in your eyes You made me reach for the sky It hurt then but looking back I know why God put you in my life but not by my side You made me reach for the sky
