things left unsaid

i’m cutting loose she said

with a song and a goodbye

nothing to be done, so i didn’t even try

just sagely said, so be it

and not, the more stupid

you just broke your lonely stranger’s heart

but that’s ok because

it’s exactly as i feared, what the distance forebode

i kinda’ knew that this would happen before long

that you’d find someone else or just get bored

of me and my silly songs

but i’ll be waiting here by the side of the road

if you ever decide to look for me again

with my heart a little more

broken a little more

hardened a little

more brittle

and you’ll find me but

a bit more morose a bit

more of a recluse

a bit more

of a whore
