A Long Goodbye

It starts with a letter, but lasts forever
I can’t help myself, that’s just the way that I am
I used to feel different, but time has changed all that
I don’t know why I was fooled by your words, your touch

Now it seems clear; there is no more there
The feelings that remain are bruised and beaten
It’s obvious you don’t care, and don’t want to fight
I’ll save you the trouble, and take myself from you

You don’t have a clue, or even a care
You probably don’t know what it’s like, to not have anyone there
You don’t ever call, except by obligation
If you do you quit, for another form of pleasure

I am not blind; I am not deaf; I am not dumb
Your simple tricks don’t fool me
Twice is the count I have played your little game
Thrice is not an option, for me to be a player

I guess that is everything, I was already packed
I’ll send myself away, to find another life
I apologize for my actions, the time that I had to take
To say my long goodbye.
