Bend (Dear Reader)

If you do not bend you will eventually break Unless you make the wind stop blowing your way We were like two kids blowing on each other with two straws Only I was willing to stop and listen to yours You say you do not want me because I want too much And I almost let you patronize me one last time But I don't want too much I just want more than you've got So the lack is not with either, we are merely a different size Don't forget regret it is a waste of an emotion And acceptance is the key to peace, do not try to defy her No I'm not sad we met and slept together in the same bed I bent, I curved, I lent, I learnt, I'm stronger You did not do me wrong, in fact you did me right To let me go although I felt so broken For you did not see the heart of me perhaps you were too lazy And though I tried I could not gain the heart of you either So now it's done and I am glad that I will find another man Though you will always be the first I tasted And I will harness all this pain and let it bear me far away I would not let this happening be wasted If you do not bend you will eventually break Unless you make the wind stop blowing away And we were like two kids blowing on each other with two straws Only I was willing to stop and listen to yours
