It Meant the World to Her

[Darkdale]

You reflect on those regrets you still neglect,
On that distress, on that mess you walked away from like it meant nothing,
She thought it meant something,
She thought it meant the world.
You forget not to nitpick her flaws,
As you hang your own along your walls like banners,
Obvious like waterfalls, they are,
Obvious like waterfalls,
But you treat her like a feature to be rated, deconstructed and criticized.
Your love is like a cancer,
You’re inside her, eating her alive,
But when she dies,
You’ll be alone.

She stays awake at night and questions God,
“Lord what did I do wrong?”
She listens to your songs and blames herself,
She won’t blame anybody else.
You vacuum up her tears,
You dust off her fears,
You brush off her concern.
You’ll never learn.

You reflect on those regrets you still neglect,
On that distress you left like it meant nothing,
But it meant something,
It meant the world to her.

You’ve got a cocaine smile and an acid tongue,
Like women are prey to be fed upon?
You’ve got a narcissistic grin that you offer like it’s a solution.
You say, “I’m sorry” no differently than you do, “Goodbye”.
But one day you’ll feel differently than you do tonight,
The good times will slip away and passion will pass you by.
Pressed for time you’ll reflect on those regrets you still neglect
On that distress you left like it was nothing,
But it meant something,
It meant the world to her.

Makes more sense than I'd like it to.

Yeah... I know. I wrote it to myself.

Well it meant a lot to me. It made me reaasure my wife that she was not to blame for my problems, and that she had been a positive force in my life despite what I may sometimes say, and how I may pull her down. That she didn't create my pyschological problems...they were there a long time before I ever met her...so I guess she'd say thank you for your poem.

Well. Good. It is rare that anyone ever takes anything away from my ramblings. I usually wrap them up to tight for the meaning to be understood by anyone other than myself.
