i'm a gypsy prince covered with diamonds and jewels but then my lover exposes me i know i'm just a damn fool (ramones) as an ex you have far more generosity of spirit than you were able to find when we were sleeping together and i was gritting my teeth through your action adventure movies and you were chafing at my constant comments on the merits of the red chile at various places we shared meals it's a good deal and though i'll miss our rituals that became far too habitual in just a month i come away feeling lucky for having known you as long as i did because you were the good thing that came into my fucked-up life not a minute too late and now it's ok that some things need to be redeemed like songs i can't hear anymore (seven caged tigers running off the rails on the night train) and the striped polos that all look the same hanging in my closet because you were all about stripes in your last email to me you say you will always be there and i see a wisdom obscured before by lust (nothing even close to trust) and i know somehow you really mean it now that our world is gone but an even better one remains one just made for redemption no place finer for chances none of us deserve but will get anyway because that's just how it all works |
