    Sad and Blue

    2005

    I’m mad at you
    Boiling, bubbling, spitting, seething
    Raging, reeling mad at you

    For what you’ve done
    Letting us come undone
    With your heartless shun
    For twisted means to distorted ends
    Where the rule of marriage bends
    As you cross the line of friends
    For how you disrespected me
    All the while neglected me
    And finally rejected me
    For knowing the pain of bleeding
    And yet still being willing
    To go ahead with the killing
    For all the pathological lies
    The dishonesty I despise
    And your two-faced disguise
    For promises of love forever
    Through every kind of weather
    And of always staying together
    For all the things you could have said
    When my jealous wounds bled
    And choosing silence instead
    For leaving me to guess
    While you were creating this mess
    And turning us into less
    For all the words unspoken
    Beneath your smiling token
    Which now leave us broken
    For making me a spy
    Suspecting that you’d lie
    And hang me out to dry
    For not giving us a chance
    Not even a second glance
    Before the final dance
    For devaluing our past
    A union that was meant to last
    And that you let go so fast
    For how you betrayed me
    With your actions degraded me
    And finally slayed me

    I’m mad at you
    But more than that, much more than that
    I’m just sad and blue
