The Cruel, The Kind, The Bad

A poison pen

told you the truth

what you already know

and now it's time

to fall apart

save the good in you

he cheats you

he lies to you

and you're not meant to mind

he's taken your best years away

but he's all that you can find

today will be the way you dry your eyes and walk away

he's taken all the love you gave

and all the love you made

the box

you made a box

put in every thought you had

the hopeful endless wishing

the cruel, the kind, the bad

you knew it

he would do it

and what you'd wade through

he's made of bones and rust and fear

oh that man won't do

you're made of stronger stuff

and it's not you who needs to change

this is only one day

one day of many days

today will be the way you dry your eyes and walk away

he's taken all the love you gave

and all the love you made
