My Undermining Love

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Undermining love
Love me more than those other ones
It will drive them mad
Undermining love
Carry the baton farther
Watch them fall away
Undermining love
They had their chance to excel

I guess its time to start throwing the fine china, having loud arguments and living in separate houses until the divorce papers go through. Maybe I’ll be looking to couch surf on all your sofas […]
