What Was Said - Chinawoman

After what was said

I can’t help but sleep with one eye open

The integrity of what we share

Is now unconvincing

The greatest love

Both is and never was

I carry on

But I can’t forget

What was said

After what was said

The things you really think of me

That’s fine

Cause I think that you’re pathetic really

Just like your family

The words break free

Much too easily

My best friend

I can’t forget

What was said

There’s a hole in everything

And I have yet to see the proof

Of friendship 'til the end

And not ¾ the way through

Of love that perseveres

When seen in close-up too

My dear friend

A heart cannot be true

Not completely, so what to do?

I’ve always left just as the leaves were changing hue

Why give life the chance

To make another mockery

Of our dear romance

Better to come and go

Honor the weeds as they are meant to grow

There’s a hole in everything

And there’s nothing you can do

It’s always out with the old

And in with the new

No love without the whisperings

So why pretend it’s otherwise

Better to be on the road

Than in a house of cards and lies

I rid myself of friendships

With fungus on the rim

Of love that had gone sour

A merciful killing

Rid of insincerities

And rid of all poison

I sent them all to hell

And nobody was left

The greatest love

Both is and never was

I carry on

But I can’t forget

What was said
