Irony

by Justin Oswalt - Aquarius

I see little signs of you everywhere
The candle still sitting in my car
The initials of you and me carved into my wall
The box of unused condoms under my bed
And I laugh at myself and think
Thank God I'm over you
But I find it ironic
That the candle meant to burn for you and me
Was never lit
That the knife that carved those initials
Is the very same knife that carved 9 neat little lines into my wrist
And that a box of unused condoms
Means I didn't lose it to a dirty little whore
Looking for a quick fix

Reason for writing:

    I'm just sick and tired of all of the little reminders.  As if I really want to remember that I was screwed over and hurt.
