KEEP IT IN THE CLOSET The rejection of you
Comes through
When you speak of you and she
As that simple word 'we"
It murders my love slightly
Showing me forthrightly
As the questions in my mind mount
Mainly, that my feelings don't count
All you had to verbalize
Is that there is you guys
The "we" when "we" got the cat, Mo
It's more than I can bare to know
Leaves my security choking, hanging
With a headache because no rearranging
Is happening with us
Leaving me to cuss and cuss
Frustrated
Only dated
Still living with her
Just as you do, as you were
Ambivalence flys
Tears well up in my eyes
Then I think, "don't care"
As it's too big of a cross to bare
Try to think of what to do
To shut up and not tell you
How your "we" tears at my heart
It shatters affections for you apart
Until in my mind, I wonder
Why you want to put us under
These circumstances
Where my loving glances
Hide behind my fearful eyes
Afraid of you again without surprise
Where the teardrops flow down
As the pain swirls up around
My throat that cannot swallow
Your love then seems so hollow
Even though you've tried
With the "we" of her you've lied
As I act like it doesn't matter
Put out my jokes, laughter, chatter
All my nervous way
Since there was "we" the other day
Why did you put that out?
A test to see if I pout?
Well, I surely, really, truly do
When I feel hurt by the "we" of you two
She's as though a third wheel
Hate is all for this I feel
When you say "we"
I realize I am free
To write about this hurt
How you're kind then flirt
With our relationship's disaster
Becoming the commitment I'm not after
Only a friend with benefits
Who does not quit
Living with her
Willing to stir
The desperation up in my soul
Letting the "we" of you guys roll
Out of your mouth across your lips
It only makes me come to grips
With the fact that I'm alone
The "we" you speak of is at home
While I keep my hurt behind the closet door
Scribbled out in chicken scratch once more.
