MIm
as we were talking outside it was cold
DO LAm
we were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter my wife
MIm
is in the next room we've been having troubles you know
DO
please don't tell her or anyone
LAm
but i need to talk to somebody
MIm
you said "wouldn't it be a shame if i knew how great i was
DO LAm
five minutes before i died i'd be filled with such regret
MIm
before i took my last breath" and i said "you're willing to tell me this now
DO LAm
and you're not going to die anytime soon" and i said
MIm
i haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes
DO LAm
but you've been wearing leather
MIm
and laughed and said we're at the top of the food chain and yes you're still a fine woman and
DO LAm
i cringed
MIm
i was hoping
RE LAm
i was hoping we could heal each other
MIm
i was hoping
RE LAm
i was hoping we could be raw together
MIm
we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's)
DO LAm
said "good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you're successful and established sir
MIm
and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir
DO LAm
and your money"
MIm
and when i walked by they said "thank you too dear"
DO
i was all pigtails and cords
LAm
and there was a day when i would've said something like
MIm DO
"hey dude i could buy and sell this place so kiss it"
LAm
i too once though i was owed something
MIm
i was hoping
RE LAm
i was hoping we could challenge each other
MIm
i was hoping
RE LAm
i was hoping we could crack each other up
MIm
i too thought that when proved wrong i lost somehow
DO LAm
i too once thought life was cruel
MIm
it's a cycle really you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping
DO
you i think you're insensitive
LAm
and i don't feel heard and i said do you believe we are
MIm DO LAm
fundamentally judgmental? fundamentally evil?
MIm
and you said yes i said i don't believe in revenge
DO LAm
in right or wrong good or bad you said "well what about the man that i saw handcuffed
MIm
in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid
DO
and she threw a shoe at his head.
LAm
i think what he did was wrong
MIm
and i would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him"
DO LAm
i had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged
MIm
i was hoping
RE LAm
i was hoping we could dance together
MIm
i was hoping
RE LAm
i was hoping we could be creamy together
