I'd ask you to stay the night
But my alarm clock and I
Already had prior engagements
Besides
My bedsheets
Hate you more than me
And that's a first
While I'd love
To stay for the show
I've really got to go
But enjoy your production
As your blood runs frigid
Under the spotlight
Underneath
Crumpled silk sheets
Where you betrayed me
They say love is forever
But I think the title
Of the act
Lasts longer than we did
Then again
Maybe I'm just acting
Performing like you
Not as good
But I'll take your pity roses
In case
But only out of sorrow
For when I saw you with him
I shattered the vase
