Regarding Your Lover

I was tired of you telling me you're leaving

Every time it came to blows

Is it not enough to say it when you mean it

And then pack your bags and go

And it was hard to be jealous

I was supposed to be having the time of my life

But now let me say

I would rather had you been vaporized

By a lunar reflection in the sky

Than to be beguiled by one so banal

I just never dreamed it could come to that

Well, darlin' I'm not angry

I'm just a little bit confused

Well she just chokes the jokes and the quotes of others

Though her eyes know not their truths

But still yet, as you lie there

May she find you in her arms

As a guiltless soul

A burning coal that is both hard to hold

And to put down

That's the way I held you

Though I never will again...

Yours faithfully, friend
