Like I Said

i tell youi sat there and cried
and cried and cried all day
imploding the couch
and my stomach
in a sure and most extremist way
pumping out the poems
listening to the saddest
of the sad music play

like i said
i get over excited when you try
to sell your body to me
your lennon obsession
and manly stained cologne
made me feel all the more free
and in your car
in your bed
in your lap
is where i loved to be

but your disappearance
was like a sudden death
choking me
like memories
where i couldn't catch my breath
and like i said
in the driveway
how i loved you so much
you wanted to remain friends
but then
you don't even keep in touch
