The Let Down.

He didn’t see it coming.

He thought he was happy. Maybe, even, in love. And for the longest time she seemed to be in love with him.

In fact, he kept telling himself, there was no reason to think she wasn’t, still.

So, why did he feel like it was inevitable?

And, knowing its inevitability, there seemed no reason to put it off.

Sometimes

Sometimes I think about ya
think about, think about
think about the things
I thought I’d do for you

Sometimes I wonder
how you’re doing now
I think about it
but I think it turned out best
when I think it through

I know I let you down
I let you down, I let you down
I let ya down hard
and I blamed it all on you

I threw your love away
and I laughed and I laughed
I laughed until I died
and when I came to…

the world — it was dead
and I walked around and I walked around
I walked around the world
but I couldn’t find you

I tore my soul open
it was empty, it was empty
a tunnel into nowhere
and I never got thru

sometimes I think about ya
think about ya, think about ya
think about the world I mighta had with you
