Redwood.

Please stop loving me We’ve already cut the cake and split the kids Can't you see we can't afford another wedding? In this economy Red the tears we've bleached white always seem to end up dripping blue. What custody do I deserve over you? I should have never loved you good Too much, too soon Hearts too pure to augur The bullets now stuck on our roof. We paved the auburn bricks sharing the guilt But this wasn’t supposed to be your move. You were always the better player From left to right back to start, dragging me out of jail about a couple hundred times in the dark. And you would line up your giant fingers on my screeching heart, awaiting that North Star, We never really found Or perhaps disoriented Reckless to find in the thunder flavored sharp. You should have never loved me good. Can't you see I only know how to hurt you? Always three steps ahead of me And I, Swimming hectomegakilometers Just to catch up And I'm not even a great swimmer. So what’s the point in swimming? You should have bought a couple barrels of gasoline Instead of that Ring. Lighted me up On that Myroxylon balsamum plank. -The break- Break? Funny word that is After We Keep Opening Up Our Memory Boxes. -Break up- Keep closing them up All our stuff -Split Up- When you should have burned Me right with them. -Sorry- Please stop being so good to me.
