Brush-off

I never said I loved you.

Though I told you that I really liked your company;

which I did, and do.

 

Amanda is my sweetheart.

As your oldest and most trusted friend, she's there for you.

Yes she was, and is.

 

I never mentioned marriage.

Though your bedroom's witnessed many scenes of ***********

Just good fun, I thought.

 

Just one of many bedrooms.

All those in-and-out exertions in the cotton sheets?

They were commonplace.

 

I never said I'd cure you

of your hang-ups and your frequent trips to la-la land.

You were too far gone.

 

Abandon the placebo.

Just take stock of who you are, and who you want to be.

Look for someone else.
