Perforated - Nominee

I read through all your letters

From the winter of

79 in December

Before you lost your way

I couldn’t bare the words you wrote

To another man a life ago

But it never made a difference

You were made to fall apart

And I carry this with me

Everywhere I go

You were so in love

Yeah, so in love

Yeah, but love just wasn’t enough

Just wasn’t enough

If what could have been never was

Maybe we’d be better off

Yeah, so in love

But how could I forget

The house that we grew up in

The place that taught resentment

When we were way too young

The way you felt was raw

Palpable and blatant

An obvious disregard

To the life you left forsaken

And so I carry it with me

Everywhere I go

You were so in love

It doesn’t matter how you made it

Love born from new life is jaded

Nothing’s built to last

When promises are perforated

Your promises were perforated
