Sad Love and Other Short Stories

The memory, it hits you
The loss of him still hurts you
He's forgotten all about you
Your address has got a line through
But postcards, photos, left-behind clothes
They stay with you wherever you go
A few years on from that scene
She looks like her, she must be
He felt a sweet reaction
A taste of honey for all that could be
Gingham, paisley, all that she wore
She still haunts like she did before
Sad love
The unspoken, heartbroken, gift tokens
You're hoping there's still a place in his heart
Where you belonged
What's the saddest love of all?
The one you never had or you can't recall
The one that you made up
Or the one that gives you nothing at all
All your weak ghosts, tied up your name
But you can hide in the flames in the rain
Sad love
The tear-stained, migraines, your sweet pain
You're praying you both feel the same
When you're awake
When you break up
But you don't wanna
And when you see him
And you still remember
The rainbow in the gutter
The blood upon the butter
When he split town without you
And he took his red pajamas
And home is with the hammer
And you'll hide it well forever
Sad love
She lives in a time of her own
She lives in the things that she owned
She lives in a dream you're in
She lives with something
Sad love
