Unrequited

This is the true story of my first love. Told via a children's folk song. It's called "Unrequited"

There were times, back in the day

Where I was lost, without a way

The world was big and I was small

thought I could understand it all

there was nothing, I could do

to make myself be known to you

you were queen of my desire

the pilot light to my heart fire

I would brag and I would boast

just so I could be the most

I was just a hopeless geek

lost amid the other freaks

you treated my love like it was all thin air

I studied you closely yet you didn't care

I know you don't know, you don't know

leaving school, for the day

caught the bus and on my way

You would ride, in your friend's cars

might as well have been on mars

the whole way home, I'd think of you

how some day, I'd get my due

you'd see me and understand

that I was not just any man

I could be, your shining knight

hand in hand we take flight

that was all a pretty lie

truth was that you'd rather die

you treated my love like it was all thin air

I studied you closely yet you didn't care

it's all inertia, inertia

and so I stewed, and fostered hate

I tried to stop but it was late

my dark designs had now been layed

the final game would soon be played

standing by your locker door

I put a bag right on the floor

It was full of poisoned love

and dog poop in a rubber glove.

I saw you coming like a queen

I lit the bag and fled the scene

didn't wait to see your fall

I was laughing down the hall
