Brain on Paper

I don't

I don't love you

In a year or two,

I might get over you

The taste of your lips

The touch of your hips

I could easily replace

All features of your face

Because you're not special to me

Someone I don't want to be

You don't affect my life

I won't sharpen the knife

You don't even matter

And everyone's better

How could I love you?

Why was I blue?

No, in reality

You're not my enemy

I'm not pissed about us

I don't cry, I don't cuss

I don't hate you, I swear

And our love wasn't rare

And now that you know

That you're oddly low

Now that you see,

It's not up to me,

I might stop to roast

'cause what I hate the most

About you, someone you can be

Is that you're happy, even without me

And while I'm here, I rhyme, I deny

While I tell every single lie

Someone wakes up to kiss

You, love, you who I miss

Why aren't you mine?

Why are you divine?

We aren't together

Not through wind or weather

'cause here without me

You're finally free

But what is a shell

Without its pearl, well

What is the night

Without the stars, so bright

And what am I too

Without you?

There will be a rainbow

And there's you.

And in a world of billions, darling

You need to expect all of them.
