ending
and so it ends
not in the romantic farewells
soft kisses ending a torrid affair
but in harsh recriminations
self-defense against intimacy
to well do i know how it was bound to end
the script not followed
howls and libel cruel
talk of a future
when a doomed present stares
damaged and empty
i will not suffer the indignities
enjoyed the sex
flattered by the attention
my part as the rake well played
the ingénue lolita
the lady doth protest too much, me thinks
the bitter truths thrown back in my face
hard slap
if you were so disgusted
why did you start
i know why
i know myself
i know the price to pay
not in the romantic farewells
soft kisses ending a torrid affair
but in harsh recriminations
self-defense against intimacy
to well do i know how it was bound to end
the script not followed
howls and libel cruel
talk of a future
when a doomed present stares
damaged and empty
i will not suffer the indignities
enjoyed the sex
flattered by the attention
my part as the rake well played
the ingénue lolita
the lady doth protest too much, me thinks
the bitter truths thrown back in my face
hard slap
if you were so disgusted
why did you start
i know why
i know myself
i know the price to pay
