Another stupid love song

we got drunk
spun round the dance floor to another stupid love song

sang out all the aches compressing our lungs
spilling our hearts out into the light from such darkness
at last — we felt connected again
the solace felt like back when we first started

‘hey love, I’m lost in my feelings, I’m out of fucks to give

you don’t bring me joy, I’m just out here trying to live’

love,
you keep chasing the last rays of Sun away
souls still brutally tormented though we’re long since over now
our tear stained faces laughed at by heartbroken — ghostly clowns

I confess,
the world used to revolve around you — until you broke me down
so I guess it’s not a shame — that I’m without you now

rain clouds loom heavy over my thoughts of you now
a bitter melody of memories
the melancholy — so profound

you pulled the Moon right out of the sky with your lies
stars fell from these eyes
the Ocean rolled down my back, our love-boat rocked — and then capsized
