Say Nothing

Say nothing; I’m breaking up with you. You're not the one for me, so we're through. There is no way I can stay with you. Say nothing; I’m breaking up with you. And I am feeling complete. You’ll be gone from my life, and it’s feeling so sweet. And there’s no tear in my eye, For in fact I am glad to be saying goodbye. . . (first verse repeated if sung like a song) When challenged to do you a breakup song for you, my mind went right to this favorite song of mine “Say Something.” Thanks, PD, for this chance to spoof it!

Ok, its a deal if you say nothing I will say nothing. Wink, Wink, Nod, Nod say no more...On a more logical note, I love this take on the song, hysterical!

It has been many years since I've had a breakup like this but through your poem it all came back, thanks for the memories, Andrea.

This is me, so recently, apparently. What more can I say, in public display, her simple betray, destroyed me. I've certainly clicked on the right write tonite, but I smile, James :) xx

A great entry Andrea. You sure have been busy! I am still playing catch up for a short time today. My cousin and daughter are here visiting so I can't spend too much time here today.

Blood runs cold, you're bought and sold. And love has all but died. The answer to the question does not depend on if you lied. Breaking up ain't hard to do if you learn how to say screw you. The love has died, you never tried. You made it easy to decide. Hi Andrea. :)

Hi, Andrea. Well, this may be a spoof but I feel a lot of relief in those few lines. Short but to the point. I liked it very much .... Robert.
