I told you, I have a bf.
I've told you that I'm Lightning's girl, but you keep hanging around.
If Lightning ever catches you, he's got to put you down.
Stay away from Lightning's girl, and this part of town.
Better stop your grooving around another rooster's hen.
If Lightning ever catches you, he's got to do you in.
Here comes Lightning down the street. While you just stand there talking.
If I were you I'd start to move, and tell my story walking.
from 'Lightning's Girl' by Nancy Sinatra
All You Had To Do Was Stay
People like you always want back the love they gave away.
People like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed.
The more I think about it now, the less I know.
All I know is that you drove us off the road.
Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made
People like you always want back the love they pushed aside
People like me are gone forever when you say goodbye
from 'All You Had To Do Was Stay' by Taylor Swift

Evil.
You called the other day, I stayed away. I left your shit on read, four times today.
It felt like bliss. Used to miss your kiss. Now I'm hop-skip jumping over narcissists.
Throwing all your stuff into the abyss. Now the role is reversed, and told you I'ma switch.
I never knew what it meant to be content with you.
Everything I expressed, I professed. It never quite made it through.
Said, "It's all in my head" whenever I spoke my truth.
I won't defend you to all my friends. This time, I refuse.
If you bite my hand again, I will never feed you. You can call me evil.
Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend. I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited.
Took me way too long to put this to bed. Now I'm stop-drop rolling over all your jokes.

We are jigsaw pieces aligned on the perimeter edge.
Interlocked through a missing piece.
We are renaissance children becalmed beneath the Bridge of Sighs.
Forever throwing firebrands at the stonework.
We are Siamese children related by the heart.
Bleeding from the surgery of initial confrontation.
Holding the word scalpels on trembling lips.
Stand straight. Look me in the eye and say goodbye.
Stand straight. We've drifted past the point of reasons why.
Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today.
The problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet.
Drowning tequila sunsets, stowaways on midnight ships.
Refugees of romance plead asylum from the real.
Scrambling distress signals on random frequencies.
Forever repatriated on guilt laden morning planes.
We are pilots of passion sweating the flight on course.
To another summit conference, another breakfast time divorce.
Screaming out a ceasefire, snow-blind in an avalanche zone.
Are we trigger happy?
Russian roulette in the waiting room.
Empty chambers embracing the end.
Puzzled visions haunt the ripples of a trevi moon.
Dream coins for the fountain or to cover your eyes.
We reached ignition point from the sparks of pleasantries.
We sensed the smoke advancing from horizons.
You must have known. That I was concealing an escape.

Gotta pick myself up.
Where do I start?
Cause I can't turn to you,
when it all falls apart.
Don't talk to me.
Well, I heard you went out and had a good time, boy. And you found a little fun.
And I heard she looked fine, but the timing was wrong. She wasn't the one.
I was at the wrong time, in the wrong place. I had to hear a second hand.
Why can't you tell me to my face? Don't talk to me.
And I heard that everything you do is like one big circle. It all comes back to you.
And I heard you gotta have faith in the way that you are. Now I know that it's true.
So I went out and had a good time too. Turned out that I got my riches, cause I found someone new.
Shut up, sit down. I've had enough of you messing around, boy.
Get back, don't touch. You just think that you run too much of it.
There's no defense for living in nothing but silence.
And I heard, that you tried to call me last night, cause you had something to say.
Don't talk to me, cause I prefer your silence.
from 'Talk To Me' by Apocalyptica
Phases
You only want me in phases. Only hit me up when you're wasted.
I hate it, treat me like a game. I won't play it.
It feels like you do this on purpose. Pretty words are pretty worthless.
I'm pretty sure I don't deserve this.
Every promise that you make, is a promise that you can't keep.
from 'Phases' by Maggie Lindeman
