Nines

Before this, you had a heart of gold Our earlier world, yes, our Earth of old Was a fountain of understanding And loving notwithstanding That we were never perfect The effort was worth it Our flaws and errors were never Enough to cause us terror... Never. Don't tell me to listen Your negligence and deaf ear ate mine away too I've done enough wishing That we could find a breakthrough But the chauvinist you've been Has been shoving this through me Deceit, self regret, anger and pain My belief and selflessness were spent but in vain. I still hold on to the you I knew Hoping you'll grow back into him While you scoff at him with your usual boo Something is happening to me Even though it's nines facing each other I still see some love between us You'll still be mines when this is over So give up the fucking meanness.
