Confessions of A Dead Lover

It was you and me

It could’ve been three

Living peaceful

But it was make-believe

I cried out, “Baby, please!”

But you weren’t listening

Watching you leave planted a seed

The seed turned into a need

I now ask the wife-to-be

How are thee?

I pray the life you lead

Is like the girl that used to be

What happens now is history

Even if you don’t see

Other people bleed

You don’t do it willingly

You do it gleefully

Annoyingly.

Obnoxiously.

Happily.

All without me.

All I want to do is RIP

But the bells from your wedding won’t let me

I should’ve objected

All my feelings have been neglected

The same reason you left is

I tried to treat us like Tetris

When the pieces didn’t fit

We kept them piling on

Instead of trying to flip

The frustration made you quit

Before the game was even over

I wish I could quit too

But from you, I’ll never sober

I wish I could hold you closer

Than your husband at the reception

With you, there’s always this deception

Something I’m still protectin

My pride will never lessen

Maybe if I spill my heart out

I’ll learn my lesson

If the world didn’t hate me

I’d be less scared of rejection

And leave the married couple

To their wedding night caressin

I hold this anger in my heart

From my unsaid confession

So baby, while you’re lying there

Husband in your bed

I want you to know

Three years ago

Is still stuck in my head

And tomorrow you’ll turn on the news

And see that I am dead

But I didn’t want to ruin

The blessed day that you were wed
