So It's Over

So It's Over

What started as a fling,
Ended with a fling;
Like a monkey and his poop.
But, god damn, I'm still thinking
about you.
You flung yourself into my life,
Brightened my day and illuminated my night.
Then with nary a word,
You were gone, just like that;
Like I just rolled over and switched out the lamp.
So it's adiós amigo and thanks for the ride;
You've shown me it's time,
I should get on with my life.
But I always know you'll be a part of me still,
We delved too deep,
We went to the base of that well;
Where the algae that grows
isn't affected by light,
Where all that it seems, just doesn't seem right.
Where the dregs of our love,
Sorry, our affair, at best,
Will forever remain,
With all of the rest.
Those women I've loved,
That I once held so dear,
When under that water,
My head disappears.
Lost in this feeling
that I've, to be honest, felt too much,
That same feeling for you that I thought equalled love.
But with the love and the lust and the forgiveness for ones self,
I'm thinking that, maybe, I might need some help;
To get through these days without you in my life,
So I don't get worked up and pull out that knife;
Again.
Yes, again. I've been here before;
And, I know, sooner or later you'll mean nothing to me more
than the other ones did,
For whom you replaced;
So I'll keep wearing this fake grin,
Upon my love tortured face.
