I must apologize -
For I am more comfortable with oceans between us
Than swimming in the waves of your attention.

I love from afar
Because it warrants much less pain
And keeps my wrists and ankles
Far from ball and chain.

Can't you see that I can't belong
To anyone but me?

Oh, stop your dribbling and your sniveling!
Ain't you ever seen a bitch before?
Yeah, this is what heartbreak feels like.
Been there, done that.

No, I don't have time to
"Talk it over"
or
"Work it out."

You keep flapping those lips,
You'll produce enough wind current for a sailboat.

The alarm's going off.
Time to grow up.
