Look me in the eyes,
Am I looking wide?
Would you fall in love with me,
If we met for the first time?
Twenty years down the drain
I thought if we took a break,
Then we’d be okay
But it seems that all we’ve done is
Delay the pain
You are Mr. Turn me in for a new model
I am Mrs. All I can do is cry and fall
Mr. Rub it in my face that you’ve moved on
Not a place in your heart
Where I belong
Did you know that the writing’s on the wall,
That I can only trip and fall?
Would I do this all again,
For you; my dear Friend?
You are simply casually cruel
Putting up with this revolving world,
Where you rule
When I discovered that your love for me,
Was based on a lie
My whole world turned
I caught casual sun burn
Casual sun burn
Colour flashing by,
It bounced my head around
I flew back into the crowd
After you caught my eye
Beautiful and young
All our time is thrive
With a soul as bright as sun
So I say thank you for the joy ride
Did you know there’s a fine, fine line,
Between being in love,
And a waste of time?
I gave you my heart, you tore it apart
You’ve been picking up this girl,
While I’ve been picking up my heart
Is there any sign of life?
In my heart, in my dying eyes
I try to move on from you,
But I can never say goodbye
If you just went with a younger girl,
I could suppress discomfort,
By believing you just went with a younger
Model
But you did not,
So my whole world has turned
My whole life has turned
And I caught casual sun burn
When dumb and young,
It seemed so fun
To be the one you want
To be the centre of your sun
Oh you’re so smug,
All eyes on you
You were so strategised,
I thought our love was true
You are trouble, and you always have been
It seems I’m the parent,
And my boat is sinking
You run roughshod over my feelings
All you do is take,
Now I’ve opened up my eyes
And you fail to apologise
And it’s so sad that this has to end
So far apart,
Further than a friend
And it’s really such a shame
It’s really such a shame
‘Cause I would have been faithful
I would have been Miss. Here to stay
But it seems I am twenty years
And two children too late
Goodbye ‘cause your casually cruel
Making me feel like such a fool
Thinking that I had your love,
When all you looked was the other way
Goodbye, watch my world turn
Think I caught casual sunburn
Get out! While you can
‘Cause you never were my man
You never were my man
Goodbye Mr. Casually cruel
Though a lethal weapon,
All I’ve known is you
The only souvenir I received from my days
In the sun
Is casual sunburn
‘Cause from when we land
To season’s end,
All I ever wanted was to be more than friends
You replaced my heart with memories
A line I know too well
Is ‘sunburn’
I’m getting sunburn

A poem of loss? Or maybe the loss is the innocence lost. A poem of pain and learning and moving on. Nicely done.
