Old Wives Tale

When he was cheating he was only cheating himself and I know it kills you when
he looks at her that way the way he used to look at you
she said «its hard falling out of love»
It’s hard when you have no choice
Oh, I forget to tell you, you’ve been living a lie, I forgot
To tell you something, «I never loved you» how do we live with
Ourselves? How can we live with each other?
I’m sorry six of them secord-rate (naivete) I can’t believe I let
That happen. My head at the ceiling the water slowly
Rising the air that I’m breathing
Exhausted and foul-smelling the bile behind my teeth
The taste of my somach feeble and weak
I can’t wash it away. Claw through my back straight to the other side.
When I was thick in your throat now I’m sick to my stomach.
I never fail to surprise myself.
