Callous Words

Forget forever I'll settle for Friday night

Get it in quick, fast hard like I like 

Once maybe twice, goodness it's nice… right

Good, then goodnight, It's messed up,

But I have to laugh, that look on your face 

When I ask if I can call you a cab 

Priceless, not nice but you don't have to like it

You don't have to go home but you're definitely done here,  

Don’t be mad, call me a callous, but that is that

Sweetie I don't need you to be needy, I never asked for your feelings

Feeling confused, used, you will get use to it believe me

You fill the bed, I don't want you to set the table

Tables turn and your unable to keep up, keep calm, keep on

Don't make a meal of my heart just eat from the garden, these tulips 

I'm so serious, read quick from these two lips 

I am on that no nonsense no knocking, no bullshit newness

Come over, come in and let’s do this 

Ropes for wrists, maybe tied to beds, but no nooses 

No promises, no excuses, not interested in heartfelt 

Love’s elusive, doesn't live here, long live freedom 

Put space between us, I’m offering the best of what’s in between us

See us searching for something, hurting for nothing 

Not I, I am not for that life, it’s useless, I am only for loving last seconds

At the end of the week, Friday five pm whistles, after we eat 

We meet, we speak, two words, ice cold, I know, but honey we need 

Nothing more than this, I offer clean cuts, loves incomplete

Faulty failures lay hurt, scattered like clothes cluttered on floors 

You stutter on yours, I, I, I; please no…lemme stop your retorts 

This isn't your course, your path, your stage, you played 

A part, you were under no illusions, I never alluded 

To holding hands, weekend plans, anything past 

Nights like this…I like this…I like you, really I do

So don’t mess it up, it’s not love, it’s just us having some fun 

Two minus the clothes, minus the hold, two minus the one

Cause you definitely gotta go home after we’re done
