for about two seconds

by Andy (Virgin) - Not entered

for about two seconds 
one 
two
in my life I was cold
but trying the bold thing 
while quivering
shivering off that look you gave me
that meoldrama-call-your-mama-and-cry look I threw back
jacked off three hours later
hate her whispered through clinched teeth
thinking about some supermodel kicking your ass
last time I went through this
I knew it was a call-me-when-you-want-some-daddy-o 
kind of thing
but I wanna see other people
ain't a phrase you read off your list
of reasons to get away
play me like a fool baby
because I wanna be played like a fool baby
maybe because your fingers are the ones that pluck my strings
fuck everything that reminds me of September 2
like your pictures
(trashcan)
and your lipstick
(trashcan)
and your wallet
(trashcan)
and the money in it
(my pocket)
and everything you gave me
someone needs to save me
save this guy
before he throws himself in too with you memory aids
rainy days
and perfume-oxygen
before he discovers a new love in your torn pictures
but that ain't me
see that wasn't you
see nobody's who they were three seconds a ago
three
two 
one
new version of the old me
and I'mnot looking for a refund
some time maybe baby we'll see what we were gonna be
see I have this theory
that you'll be 
boozing
losing sleep tonight
and if you lose sleep tongiht
might I just say
it wasn't even that cold baby
you can't even make it that cold

Reason for writing:

    It's about a breakup I had.
