misstree Terry Hall :
I ruse the day that I ever met you,
And deeply regret you getting close to me.
I cannot wait to deeply neglect you,
Deeply forget you, Jesus believe me
You promised me poems.
You might have been my reason for livin'
I gave up on givin', gave up everything.
We were a right pair of believers
A couple of dreamers,
So how come you hate me?
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
Promised me poems

...
jezabel the words are so close to outstretched tongue,
i can taste the air and sense them,
but the brilliant boquets that i claim
as my right
are denied.

a trap awaits me this weekend,
a gentleman whom i once,
long ago,
wrote a poem for.

such strange cycles cannot be ignored,
even if i know it's only bait.
