On Tuesday morning I discovered That I had missed your late night call And I found that I didn’t care at all But then the next day I was tricked by your enjoining smiles And I pretend to love you for a while It’s now Thursday afternoon And you don’t recognize me So I think to myself who is he? But the entire thing is a tragedy You and I acting out our daily roles Letting the heat dissipate from the coals Of the hypothetically imaginary flame Of a possible love affair One we knew wasn’t there And it’s a whole month of Sundays Yet we still haven’t talked But I’ve memorized the way you walk The thread connecting you and I Is woven together with Wednesdays and lies As deceptively delicate as a spider’s web Let’s try again and close our eyes.

Wednesdays and Lies
On Tuesday morning I discovered That I had missed your late night call And I found that I didn’t care at all But then the next day I was tricked by your enjoining smiles And I pretend to love you for a while It’s now Thursday afternoon And you don’t recognize me So I think to myself who is he? But the entire thing is a tragedy You and I acting out our daily roles Letting the heat dissipate from the coals Of the hypothetically imaginary flame Of a possible love affair One we knew wasn’t there And it’s a whole month of Sundays Yet we still haven’t talked But I’ve memorized the way you walk The thread connecting you and I Is woven together with Wednesdays and lies As deceptively delicate as a spider’s web Let’s try again and close our eyes.
