One Fifth

Old Wives Tale

One Fifth


When he was cheating he was only cheating himself and I know it kills you when he looks at her that way the way he used to look at you 
she said "its hard falling out of love" 
It's hard when you have no choice 
Oh, I forget to tell you, you've been living a lie, I forgot 
To tell you something, "I never loved you" how do we live with 
Ourselves? How can we live with each other? 
I'm sorry six of them secord-rate(naivete) I can't believe I let 
That happen. My head at the ceiling the water slowly 
Rising the air that I'm breathing 
Exhausted and foul-smelling the bile behind my teeth 
The taste of my somach feeble and weak 
I can't wash it away. Claw through my back straight to the other side. 
When I was thick in your throat now I'm sick to my stomach. 
I never fail to surprise myself.
