I spoke to you in not words but poetry
Asked you to believe in me
Just one more time-
To see past all the times I misused you
(rinse, repeat).
I swore up and down
This was the last time
(it’s always the last time).
And that now, I was yours
Forever and ever
(forever’s end on Tuesdays).
And you believed me
Like you always do
(tiny little blue bird).
