Settlement - David Poe

Got a letter at the door

It was the ending of the war

Void of any sentiment

Look at all the time she spent

She’s as patient as a gun

Getting the shine

Against the sun

It’s looking like

The settlement is almost done

She says she’s giving back her ring

Isn’t keeping anything

Hoping she remembers good

What she never said she would

When she asked if he could change

It never was quite the same

That’s because

The settlement had been arranged

She could never seem to tell

What he didn’t want to let her feel

It’s just as well

The settlement is in the mail

Void of any sentiment

Like he never had a friend

Think of all the time you spent

Making rent

And miracles that came and went

And she’s so fucked and beautiful
