burn after writing

burn after writing



burn after writing it she said

but i want to tell you what i feel i said

there is no need she said

but i thought we love each other i said

loved she said

stop thinking she said

its over she said

i know i said


but where will my feelings go i said

i don't need to know she said

will we ever speak again i said

don't hold your breath she said

you have feelings too i said

not for you she said

i had she said

it's over she said

i know i said


we shared for so long i said

there's no time for that anymore she said

i still have things to say i said

i know she said

lets clean up the air i said

its too late she said

its over she said

write them down and burn the paper she said


did you ever listen to me i said

did you listen to me she said

i made mistakes and apologized i said

you hurt me she said

so long ago i said

and i will never forget what you did she said

we still stayed together for so long i said

and i told you who i wanted you to be she said

i know i tried i said

its too late she said

its over she said

i know i said


who is he i said

who she said

your new friend i said

not you she said

how long i said

leave me alone she said

its over she said

i know i said


write what you want to tell me and burn it she said

then why should i write it down i said

because you are bothering me now she said

my words are pure and honest i said

there is the door she said

i entered that door many years ago i said

i have things to do she said

i know your schedule i said

i don't have time for this she said

maybe we can talk again some day i said

talk to the paper and burn it after writing she said

i understand i said

good

bye
