You took me to cheap Italian,
pizza, BYO, bad pasta.
And I listened to you crap on for a while.
Pretending to listen I notice,
a mole,
a hair sprouting from your nose,
your crooked teeth.
Food is served,
you pour the beverage.
I pretend to listen for a while:
Empty heart, Empty mind
Broken vows, Foolish Lies,
Real bad taste, God cheap wine,
Nervous sputtering, Poor poor Lines,
Boring bull shit, Wasted time.
The food is done,
I'm smiling,
We walk out,
You say you'll call,
I shake your hand.
"leave it silent"
