Why do this to me? You despise my every kiss.
One foot is out the door. I cannot deal with this.
I try to destroy the memories. It’s there at every turn.
One day I’ll set it ablaze. One sweet day I’ll let it burn.
So cruel you are to me. You treat me just like sh*t.
I give you my love. You throw it down; on it you piss.
You’re never satisfied. All you do is complain and moan.
Here we go again with the “somebody’s done me wrong song.”
I give you all my love. I give your every wish.
But when I see you, I don’t get hugs; not even a simple kiss.
I had about enough. Your gonna miss me when I’m gone.
Keep it up, push me to the edge. I swear it won’t be long.
I try to destroy the memories. It’s there at every turn.
One day I’ll set it ablaze. One sweet day I’ll let it burn.
The other foot is out the door. I had enough of this.
Spare me the apologies. Quit puckering up your lips!
Forgave so many times. For puppy eyes I always fell.
But it’s over now. All our memories can burn in hell!
I do not hate you. So please, my love, don’t get it wrong.
I’m tired playing this record. So I’m turning off this song.
Thank you for making me stronger. Thank you for your time.
I’m taking back my life now. I’m taking back what’s mine!
Like trash I throw you away. What a bitter lesson to learn.
Ablaze I set your memories. I walk away and let it burn.
How intricate, my friend – another A1 entry from you. This brings back so many memories :/ but in a good way. A way that makes it easy to look back, and be grateful for the lessons learned along the way. Awesome stuff, Jarid!
Thanks bro. I feel a lot of people can see themselves in this piece. Memories do fade but the feeling is great once you can completely walk away and let it burn complex. Thanks for your continued support!
?M?E?M?O?R?I?E?S?
Been there, done that.
Another relatable piece, my friend.
She deserved it! Ha ha
I feel ya. I like what you did there with the memories ???. Don’t need no water for that. Let the you know what burn! ?
Yup, I’ve got the scars too. That kind of fire is hot but when we learn the lesson and know that we put out the fire, it’s all for the better.
