you thought I was kidding
by Maria Francescayou thought I was kidding
when I said I adored you.
you thought I just said it
to fill empty air.
you didn't believe
there was no one before you
or trust that
wherever you went I'd be there.
you thought that I suffered
from infatuation.
you thought me too foolish
to know my own heart.
you had no real grasp
of my soul's situation --
that nothing
and no one
could keep us apart.
you thought I was silly
you thought me naive
you tried to discard me
like valueless junk -
but now you know better,
yes,
now you believe -
as you do all you can
to escape from my trunk.
you thought I was kidding
when I said I adored you
I'm sure you know now
that was all a mistake
and I'll miss your sweet voice
and I'll miss this old Ford
as it slowly and sadly
sinks into the lake. 09/17/2011 Posted on 09/18/2011
