The Cure

This, is the first song I had my heart broken to. Jordin, Jordin…he was the first man I ever loved, and the first person to ever love me. We broke each other’s hearts terribly. This was one of the songs he sent me, and one of the songs I wept to alone in my room.

We were so young and innocent and stupid. We said horrible things to each other. He cheated on me. I wrote a letter so vicious I made him cry. We inspired some of our best poetry to each other.

Now, I write about Jordin angst, but we’re actually still very good friends. In fact, I got a message from him yesterday telling me he’s going to be a father! How exciting!

Never never never never never let me go she says
Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
But suddenly she slows
And looks down at my breaking face
Why do you cry? what did I say?
But it’s just rain i smile
Brushing my tears away…

I wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years I’ve cried over you

How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry?
Take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something
We will always want?

Why why why are you letting me go? she says
I feel you pulling back
I feel you changing shape…
And just as I’m breaking free
She hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky
Surrenders it all…
