Next Stop

I've turned into one of those women who weep on trains
Obviously undertaking an emotional journey

Mistake

There are men who are strong and are true
So how did I end up with you?

Swimmer

Too scared to dip a toe in an emotional whirlpool
You backed away before I could jump in and yell "the water's too hot!"

Vacillation

You blew hot, you blew cold
you hurt me so much -
though it wasn't as if we'd been dating
when you made your decision on life
and on love
I was not even worthy of rating

The Obsessor

I get overly optimistic
Interpret everything as signs that you'll love me eternal
Which, I suppose, you may well do
But only in a manner fraternal
