On The Downside

by Lee R. Alexander II c.2006

 

Robbed of all our sight on the upside,

Fumbling through goodbyes, and on the downside

Wondering what went wrong.

 

And it's not quite the way we planned,

But it's not hard to understand.

It sure did seem like love, or something close enough.

 

In those final lines, like a eulogy,

A consolation prize offered up for free,

And twice as cheap.

 

All the awkward things you'd say

Were the red-flags that just gave yourself away.

And I told you, "It isn't you, it's me."

But that's not true, it isn't me it's YOU.

 

When you come around about a year from now

Wondering what went down, and always wondering how

We lost our way.
