The Pointless Book

Unfinished Poem #26

Try to play it cool, I like you
Have me in your hands just like that
Wish I never told you, it's killin' me to wonder

You give me empty promises of love
You're an honest man when you're drunk
Wish I never asked you, but it's killin' me to wonder
How long?
How long have you loved another
While I'm dreamin' of us together?

She got the best of you
Part of me always knew
How long have you tried to end it
While I'm killing myself to fix it?

Listen to my fears, not my friends
They don't tell the truth, they like you
Wish I never told you, it's killin' me to wonder

You're an honest man when you're drunk
Wish I never asked you
I need to know
How long?
