Subject: An hour wasted
You can think of this as just another goodbye letter
I know I’ve said it all before and better
But I think it’s time for our ties to be severed
This will be the last thing that'll ever tie us together

I'll never write another thing about you
It's been ten months and that's what I should count to
And this may seem a little over the edge
Yeah, maybe I could use a couple deep breaths
But don’t you try to act flattered
This didn’t take long and it doesn’t matter

It looks like it’s getting harder to breath
I can tell, you’re on the edge of your seat,
And every word is on the tip of your tongue now
You’re about to stand up and scream your lungs out
But you should know you’re just making things worse
Because it’s not going to, no it’s not gonna work

I'll never write another thing about you
It's been ten months and that's what I should count to
And this may seem a little over the edge
Yeah, maybe I could use a couple deep breaths
But don’t you try to act flattered
This didn’t take long and it doesn’t matter

You can try to catch me when I’m all alone
Dress yourself up and try to look elegant
You can write a few letters of your own
Use your favorite words and try to sound eloquent
But you should know you’re just making things worse
Because it’s not going to, no it’s not gonna work

I’m trying now, to let myself leave unharmed
But everything you do catches me off guard
And what were all those things you said?
It doesn't matter, I guess I must have missed them
I have this funny little way of forgetting how to listen

And don’t you try to act flattered
This didn’t take long and it doesn’t matter

I like it.


And this has nothing to do with the poem, but I have to do it anyway. BILLY!!!

Thanks. I was listening to Billy when I wrote some of it, they're a good influence.

I think I needed it too. It let a lot of stuff out that doesn't even come across in it.
