Sorry, I Don't Love You Enough.

by Twan - Aries

Those cold eyes stare without expression
now that those words have escaped into the air
those same cold eyes
show they truly don't care
Who I slept with, what I did
a shrug, a lip twist
cannot stem the building homocidal rage
that only seems to show in the tension of the wrist
"Sorry, I don't believe in fidelity"
an excuse, a bunch of hooey at best
"I didn't date you cause you were special
just because you weren't like all the rest"

Why, it's asked, was it my friend?
Why, it's asked, was it so quick?
and turning away into the bushes
"I think I'll be sick"

I don't think you should take it so hard
I don't think you should be enraged
take it like an adult
and turn the goddamn page

But sadly it would seem to be
that this statement isn't the way to go
the power of the fury
begins to flow and flow.

Unflappably they come out there
"Sorry, we're not committed"
and it would seem this statement
has only increased the oaths emitted.

I don't think you'd fallen that quickly
I didn't fall at all
I kept telling myself that
As I sat waiting for your call

Then out came the heavy artillery
I'll point out your worst flaws
Stop that
Nothing's worse than a child who bawls.

It would seem that I've led you on
made you long for what you've always wished
but let me disabuse you
It did not exist.

It's all fun and games at first
and I didn't mean to treat you rough
but there's no future for us
I just don't love you enough.

Then a stinging slap rings through the night
It seems I've crossed the line
For I figured out, just like you
those cold eyes are mine.

Reason for writing:

    I would like to say that while I did not do this, or talk like this, I have been on both ends, and I figured out there was no point to dating casually if the other person wanted so much more, and vice versa.
