Goodbye, my lover

I used to treasure you as a diamond
I used to cradle you in my arms
I used to love you unconditionally
I used to protect you from harm.
I've not spoken to you in weeks
I've not seen your face in months
I've not kept up with your happenings
I've not conversed with you even once
I thought that you were truthful
I thought you wanted to be friends
I thought we had no hope together
I thought this wasn't how it'd end.

i'm sorry stephanni

g d em d
a stark and telling moon is rising slowly over us
i tremble slightly with the pressure, lacking the necessary trust
what was created to be beautiful has now a sick, perverted grin
while our bodies work their magic i am drowning in the din

and you said
oh oh oh
but i think it might be true
and i said
even so i can't do this to you

the startling dysfunction then, of reason, of my brain
had trickled down a silent, agonizing, piercing pain
it found its way directly to the center of my chest
the point of this selfishness was pleasure, but all i felt was regret

and you said
oh oh oh
but i think it might be true
and i said
even so i can't do this to you
but i said
oh oh oh
i think she is the one
even more
even more how will i feel
when this is done

two months later we pretend that we've got it all together
soon you'll see, darling, there are storms we cannot weather
i miss you now and i'll miss you then and this decision is so hard to make
but when time has passed, and our friendship lasts, we'll know it was not a mistake

and you said
oh oh oh
but i think it might be true
and i said
even so i can't do this to you
but i said
oh oh oh
i think she is the one
even more
even more how will i feel
when this is done
