I Am Through With Love
Tomorrow I will wake
Without the knot
And perpetual ache,
I will tidy all the corners of my brain
Littered
With loves thoughts and name,
And if love should shove me
I will play dumb,
I will say “I’m not from round here”
Give him no directions home
But send him round the houses
And feel happy on my own.
And if love should trip me
I’ll stand steady and not fall,
I will not take his number
Or wait upon his call,
I will not get sick with longing
Or walk around on air
And if love should ask for me
I’ll say I am not there.
I will change my name
And if needs be,
I will change my personality
So that
If love should Kiss me
Or turn up with a bunch of reasons
Why he missed me,
I will nothing to keep them fresh in
And I’ll give a good impression
Of a woman scorned.
If love should push me
I will put up a good fight
I will throw a million reasons
Why he’s wrong, and I am right,
And when the tug of love
Is won,
I’ll question everything I’ve done,
And if love should touch me then
In all my weary sleepy places
After seeing all my faces,
If love should touch me then
I would be a fool
To feel unmoved.
