Break-Up Poems

There’s no I in You

I don’t need no interaction

I make my own satisfaction

I don’t need no lover’s pain

I don’t need you in my brain

-

I don’t need activity

I make my own captivity

I exist just by myself

I don’t need nobody else

-

I sleep I wake I watch TV

I care a lot but just for me

I don’t need to feel your pain

I don’t need you in my brain

Have to Let You Go

Let you go

When everything I say

Can be taken in some psychotic way

I have to let you go

-

Let you go

You can’t just be

You have to project

Toxicity

I have to let you go

-

Let you go

it’s you not me

You withdraw

Into insanity

I have to let you go

-

Let you go

I appreciate the fun we had

I am sorry that you’re always sad

You look but don’t see me

You see your own reality

I have to let you go

-

Let you go

We tried and tried

Each time we died a bit inside

You want to escape your self

By climbing on a flimsy shelf

Detaching from what’s really there

Rejecting love embracing fear

I have to let you go

-

You can’t be with me

I have to let you go

Go Back

Friends friends friends

Can we just be friends again

It was fun, it was nice

And it seemed to suffice

-

Friends friends friends

Let’s eat a loaf of bread together

Mock the Grateful Dead together

-

Friends friends friends

Forget our experiment in love

We fit together like hand in glove

The stakes were low

It did not matter

Through thick and thin

Through thin and fatter

We laughed when people wondered if

We were friends with benefits

-

Friends friends friends

Let’s go back to that

Let’s clear the air

And cut us slack

Why is it too late to go back?
