I can’t listen
to it anymore;
Your sobs are wasted
on me.
My shoulder’s
wet as it’ll ever be
And I can’t
let you stay in my mind.
Crocodile tears
have lost their charm,
Useless moaning
has done its harm.
My eyes are new
and improved:
Waterproof and not
confused.
Drowning in worthless
pity
With little understanding
Because there’s
nothing left to offer up;
I can’t let
my frozen heart melt now.
You’re not
my God, not my idol;
Hero worship leads
to nowhere
And your religion
has a loophole.
I’ve seen
the break in your marble
And the rust of
your structure.
