I Sit Alone

I sit alone With a bible reader And a headphone wearing mother of two. And all I can think of is how I miss you. What I really mean Is how I misjudged you, How I thought that you would do. Forever and forever how you would do. How there wasn't anything I would not do to end all nights curled up with you. That was until A yester-night Where in between a guy's play fight, You turned to left and then to right And you celebrated his muscled might. Calling him "the manliest of the manly". You, a girl I thought of my mind, Why would you deliver such a line, And perpetuate patriarchal crime? You, who said oh once before You'd never let that in your door. You, new love Someone to adore. You, who I thought Wanted something more. You, pale love Something to adore. No longer at my door My love for never more. And here I thought Each and every day My my my How I wish she wasn't gay.
