He said he needed space
so I tried to lasso the cosmos
and I only wrote 3 songs
about him
cuz I didn't want to fixate
so i went on some first dates
and had sex with someone i didn't care about
i tried not to dwell on my proclivity
for obsession and negativity
so i signed up for some classes
and made several unsuccesful passes
at exboyfriends and girlfriends
and overcommited to new projects
and i tried to distract myself from the emptiness inside
and use to anything, anything, anything that I could find
to fill the hole he left behind
He said he needed space
so I tried to lasso the cosmos
and i tried
and failed
