Sacred

I walked outside naked
Got in the pool and passed out
You saw something sacred
But you never loved me like you hate me now

The poetry without the words
The screen door and mackerel clouds
The sounds of southbound hummingbirds
And so you never loved me like you hate me now

I needed it as much as you
Playing the piano at your parents house
I know you didn’t ask me to
But I wanted you to love me like you hate me now

Oh, you never loved me like you hate me now
Oh, you never loved me like you hate me now
Oh, you never loved me like you hate me now
Oh, you never loved me like you hate me now

Mumbling from your corner
At your back and in your defense
Pale rider in a summer dress
And you’re watching me spinning round and round

And playing dead like a bitch
With my tongue out on the ground
Saying without saying it
That you never loved me like you hate me now

Oh, you never loved me like you hate me now
Oh, you never loved me like you hate me now
Oh, you never loved me like you hate me now
Oh, you never loved me like you hate me now
