After Dinner

You are beastly

You think you’re an angel

And frankly there’s no one who’d rather you be one

Than Me

But darling you ain’t

And your greatest mistake was thinking

You had to be one

You never had to be one

I would have loved you even if you were terrible

You never knew just how rotten you could have been

And I was still going to love you

You had a lot of leeway

And you never needed it

You did everything alright

And almost everything all Right

I thought my greatest triumph was seeing you as human

Just as human as that other rotten bastard

Maybe that’s what hurt you so…

You didn’t want to share my forgiveness with Him

So you took it like a dagger through the heart

Well I’m sorry for that too

And I hope that doesn’t hurt so bad now
