Relax Honey, I'm Just Venting

by Stumbling Shaman   Jun 20, 2006


Surprise surprise, I've been played again
I listened as you screamed this time-
This time for sure it was the end
However I must confess
If it's all the same to you
For the first time I didn't believe it
When you said we were through

Promise me maybes, leave me forever
Always lonely when we're together
But we seem to have our ways
Of never leaving well enough alone
I smile and nod when you lecture me
On all the sins I have to atone
Your taunts raise a giggle-
I refuse to be annoyed
Your threats go unheeded
Fading to white noise

My Saccherin, you are all that I never needed
Rolled into one
I laugh quietly to myself
When all your scheming comes undone
....But you never get the joke
We've become a passionless junket
In hell and without a hope
Lurching from fight to petty fight
Forgetting what we should be doing
In the middle of the night

I gave you what you wanted
You just changed your mind
What's a boy to do?
They say love is blind
But with you it's a must
I'm trying to let what's left of it
Turn into dust
I've stopped searching for excuses to stick around
After all, with you there is no need
You seem to be content holding me down
Inventing new ways to make me bleed
You've become quite the expert, Ball and Chain
In turning goodbye into "Oh god let me die"
Trapped here with you, I've lost all my shame

You have the unholy power
To make even the sweetest moments turn sour
Your mood set permanently to stormy weather
I'd say you enjoyed being depressed
If I didn't know any better

On the flip side though
I have seen you undressed
-And once or twice in leather-
And that almost makes everything
Quite all right
If only we hadn't forgotten
What we should be doing
In the middle of the night
