The Divorce

There\'s something genius about being alone

The solitude compliments my face

And I have a heart of gold

Yet it is always broken and shattered;

The reality is so bleak though

I want to bury these sheets in my heart

For I don\'t want to sleep in them anymore

Broken chandeliers are so vague...

The message is never clear

And if I put my blinders on

I will never see the stars

And with this ring, I shall no longer be wed

I\'m sorry to say

How can I lose the love that is inside?

True hearts never grow cold...

But is that even true?

If I love a man

I love him with my whole heart

Behold the chandeliers that have fallen...

Behold the broken hearts that scare the world,

For we are people too.

If love was falling apart,

Would there be some kind of revelry?

For I am my own divorce, would you say?

I write poetry to fill my pain

Because my words are fighting for their lives

I need to live in order to survive

And the prettiest things turn sour

As the milk on the counter

And the ugliest things just seem prettier

To me,

And with this ring, the flower sinks

And the house starts to freeze

And I look at complicated pictures

On the walls...

How could these pictures look so vague?

Well everything looks vague these days

I shall burn this ring

And forget the sting

How many broken hearts are there a day

When the world is constantly moving?

And all the women in the neighborhood

Feel sorry for me,

Because I am freer than them

And I get to sleep all day

In my wanton pajamas

So mediocre and plain...

And there you go, there is my happy ending

For every man is safe from me;

I lie boring in a pit.

Does this divorce mean more to me

Than it does to you?

For I think life is brilliant

When it\'s empty.
