I Need a New Mistress

It’s not easy, but I’m trying

Trying hard

To forget your number, your skin and your lips

My body is punctured from your fingertips

It’s not easy, but we’re not dying

Just trying to keep guard

You of your feelings, not to get hurt

And I’m afraid that the secrets will turn into words

And the last time I saw you my wedding ring got tangled with your hair

You once said you like metaphors, well they hardly ever get that clear

So I think I need a new mistress

Someone who wants the making, but doesn’t want the love

I think that I need a new mistress

Someone who goes down without asking for the above

Oh how soft you look when the outside light gets in

And how hard your body moves when it melts with my skin

But recently your eyes got all filled with this sad concern

And I know that look too well; it’s a look I can’t return

So I think I need a new mistress

Someone who wants the making, but doesn’t want the love

I think that I need a new mistress

Someone who goes down without asking for the above

It’s not easy, but I am trying

Trying hard

To keep up a distance and keep us apart

To erase you from my memory

And to erase me from your heart
