Letter To An Old Poet Lyrics

 

I said I think that you’re special. You told me once that I’m selfish and I kissed you hard
in the dark
in the closet.
You said my music is mellow. Maybe I’m just exhausted.
You think you’re a good person because you won’t punch me in the stomach.

And I love you.
I don’t know why,
I just do.

But you’re not special, you’re evil.
You don’t get to tell me to calm down.
You make me feel like an equal,
but I’m better than you and you should know that by now. When you fell down the stairs,
it looked like it hurt and I wasn’t sorry.
I should have left you right there
with your hostages: my heart and my car keys.
You don’t know me.
I want to be happy,
I’m ready
to walk into my room without looking for you.
I’ll go up the top of our building
and remember my dog when I see the full moon.

I can’t feel it yet,
but I am waiting.
