so tonight
i watch the car crashes
inside my life
the cancer of stupidity
remains resistant to my knife

only ever tried to encourage you
just to be yourself
not gain these possessions
compete with everybody else

do they set you free?
i am sorry –
that,
it was with me
to which you felt enchained

the value of our relationship
seems to have –
a pretty poor exchange rate
i can see the value
by the acquisition of a new mate

what happened –
to the life we once knew
found things –
and then it flew

how do i explain
beautiful, funny
as sexy –
and as infectious as ever

you smile –
is the boat –
that keeps me afloat
the castle –
surrounded by a moat
