Hey Baby [Unedited]

SUCH A SAD ENDING! I dunno where this came from. It's about me & Richie...We're still together don't worry.

Hey baby, you’re everything I ever asked for,

There’s just one flaw.

You never catch me before I hit the floor.

Hey baby, you’re everything I’ll ever need,

There’s just one little problem.

You're never there to hold me when I bleed.

 

Hey baby, you’re everything. Perfect for me.

There’s just one thing.

You’re never ever there for me.

 

Baby, you’re fantastically fatalistic.

When you kiss me & smear my lipstick,

I feel tingles deep inside,

The love in our eyes is impossible to hide.

 

But how can it show?

How can you know?
When I stay up at night,

And you’re nowhere in sight?

 

Hey baby, now we fight & fuss.

What’s going on?

This isn’t us…

 

Hey baby, why are you throwing things?

Are you drunk again?
The slap on my face still stings.

 

Hey baby, I’m leaving in the morning,

I’ve got a plane to catch.

Stop your crying, stop your mourning.

 

Baby, you’re fantastically fatalistic.

When you kiss me & smear my lipstick,

I feel tingles deep inside,

The love in our eyes is impossible to hide.

 

But how can it show?

How can you know?
When I stay up at night,

And you’re nowhere in sight?

 

Hey baby, it’s been a few years,

I heard it on the news.

Some dark-haired guy like you went out in tears.

 

Hey baby, he flew right off that bridge,

Did you see it?
Right off the edge.

 

Hey baby, why don’t you return my calls?

Where are you?
Are you there at all?………………

I really liked this. I expected it to be a cliche break-up poem, but I was pleasantly surprised.^^ I loved the twist at the end - very morbid, which is always fun. And the contrast at the beginning between how perfect the couple is, and what's actually going on is well written too. Great job. (:
