Oil and water
Was the best way to explain
Our relationship
But that is how I would
Describe any of your relationships
Not the most agreeable of people
With a stubborn streak
Which rivalled my own
Only a matter of time
Before we no longer could stand in the same room
Battle lines were drawn
With small jabs
I returned most everything to you
But kept a few things
For severance package
Drifted up north with a girl
That trusted you less than me
And she was right to do so
For there was a time or two
You reached out to reminiscence
About all the fun games we played
In the end, you tried to make yourself feel better
Gave me one more jab
To equate me to nothing more than a friend with fringe benefits
Funny, how you were willing to change everything
For a girl that was nothing more than a warm body
Because there was nothing friendly about you
