XYZ

Oh I know you're on your way
I have no words to say
but I'll be the gravity
hangin' on the edge of your 1,2,3...

XYZ, ex-wives and sea
rolling on waves of entropy
ABC, the day she'll see me
for who I am
will be the day this dam
un-breaks, this heart un-aches,
catching all winter's snowflakes
on the tip of my tongue
oh girl I am deaf and dumb and done

XYZ, wrecks lives you see
burning pages of my bad poetry
123, words I have given freely
stolen from XO
but you'd never know
would you girl, this hell is my world
diving deep into me to find the pearl
but all that remains is hurt
oh I'm bereft, bereaved, but oh so alert...

To the things I have dreamed
in postcards and cut-out magazines
when you need someone beside you,
you're bound to be
lonely and blue
you're watching me,
I'm watching you
I'm drowning in my self-made seas
of beautiful pity, XYZ

XYZ, sex, lies and dreams
stabbing my Fender into the TV screen
OCD, the day she'll see me
as I should be
first the seas will all dry up
this pale skin left pure and uncut,
catching in a paper cup
all the leaves of October
oh I am setting this pen down
and turning the page over,
baby I'm done

Yeah I know you've gone to stay
I haven't the words to say
but I'll be the gravity
that's draggin' on your XYZ,
skimmin' on the seas of your sad heart spinning,
oh such a pity, XYZ.

Cool poem, cool song, soul drifter.
LMNOP, did you write about me?
just kidding, enjoyed,
