Marie

You left me alone but I don't really blame you, I don't

You thought I would hate you, don't worry, I can't and I won't

But there are questions unanswered though they're answers I don't want to hear

I'm no good at this distance but damn sure no good when you're near

My friends, they keep telling me, "Man, you sure handle it well."

Conveniently they overlook when I slip into my hell

Close the world out and ​I don't return their calls for days

Emerge baptized in memories and exorcized of my rage

Oh Marie, this is one thing you can't take away

My pain is a labor love, it's what's left of me
