I Should Be Used To It By Now

LostLove

I should be used to it by now;
Every day starts the same.
Where will love be by nightfall?
The ritual of our daily game.
I should be used to it by now;
If I was fortunate the night before;
Maybe a note by the bed,
And some tissues on the floor.
I should be used to it by now;
No attempt to conceal the lying.
The casual ease of the excuses;
Indifferent to love dying.
I should be used to it by now;
A cheek offered instead of lips,
As I move to kiss, vacant eyes averted,
And drumming of bored fingertips.
I should be used to it by now,
And tear myself from the phone;
Not stare for hours for signs of life,
But be resigned to nights alone.
I should be used to it by now,
And stay calm and sweetly serene,
When well intentioned friends,
Gloat on where youve been seen.
I should be used to it by now;
Not break down each night and cry.
I should be so dam used to it by now,
That I'd stop just wanting to die.

| This is good. Nice write. But I do have to say I don't think it is ever something that you just get used to. |
