The Parting Shot


I hate that you are gone,

Leaving behind your fading song,

You're what I want, what I need,

Please come back to me.

 

I hate when you said goodbye,

Saying that you really tried,

You're what I want, what I need,

But it was never meant to be.

 

I hate the lies you fed to me,

Forgetting that you're all I need,

What needed was what I got,

Thank you for the parting shot.
