• So I’ve been sittin here
    Just playin with my relationship status on facebook
    Switchin it back and forth between “In a relationship”
    And “single”
    Never finalizing it, but wishin I had the courage to
    See, I don’t wanna hurt you
    But I also don’t wanna be with you
    We’ve been together for such a long time now
    I think I’ve forgotten how to be free from you
    I’m no longer in need of you
    But I know you have needs too
    And I’m tryin to respect that
    I know you’re the type of girl that needs a reason to keep fightin
    And if you’re not fightin for me,
    Then I know you’ll forget
    That you need your own freedom
    You just don’t know it yet
    So this is my ******** up apology
    For all the things I’ve done to you
    And all the things you’ve done FOR me
    Please, baby, just try to see
    That if I say goodbye today
    It’s only my body that leaves
    I don’t wanna say “let’s just be friends”
    Cuz that’s a load of bullshit
    But I will always be here for you
    You just gotta take the first step now
    Somehow…
    I started thinkin you were my responsibility
    And I’m sorry, but you’re not
    You’re not my child
    You’re just the girl I loved
    And tried to help
    But I failed
    And I hope you know how hard it was for me to say that
    With all the implications it entailed
    This is a Phoenix song penetrating
    Generating healing… I hope
    Cuz I have no God to turn to so I’m not sure that we’ll cope
    But we have to
    That’s just how it is
    Sometimes curveballs are thrown when you think the games done
    And we had fun
    I won’t forget that
    But we were young
    I only regret that I told you we could last forever
    Go the distance
    Be the ones who confuse high school relationship statistics
    I lied
    I was wrong
    Whatever sounds best to you
    But that doesn’t mean what I said about Love is untrue
    I’d still die for you
    Because love is an energy that never dies, it just changes state
    And I wish I had learned that before it became too late
    But here we are
    Dressed in clothes fit for mourning
    And the Morning will come
    But it won’t be quick
    We may sit in this evening and take our pick
    Of stars to try to brighten this darkness
    But when the Sun comes, it will be bliss
    You see, I am just a comet
    I shine bright, but don’t stay long
    I bring light to your world, but leave blackness when I’m gone
    I’m sorry if I seem like I’m rambling on
    I just need to get this off my chest
    Believe it or not, this poem isn’t about you, it’s about me
    And the things that I need
    I need a woman
    Not a girl
    Someone who has her s**t together
    Knows where she’s goin
    And gets there
    Not concerned with finding love, but will take it if it comes
    Not concerned with finding sex, but she’ll give it if she comes
    I need…
    Someone who’s like 110% not at ALL like my mother in any way, shape, or form
    And I’m sorry, but that just aint you
    I need someone who I don’t have to constantly reassure that she’s beautiful
    And I need a woman who gets all my nerdy television references
    Someone who has her own friends
    and doesn’t want to spend every waking moment with me
    In other words,
    I need a woman with a healthy mindset
    Because I’ve never had that
    And I think that’s why I’m not happy
    Never really have been
    And please understand that all this means
    that I am NOT goin back with any ex-girlfriends
    In fact, I’m probably gonna stay single for a while
    Cuz I need to get my head together
    Wait out the storm and pray for better weather
