You told me not to write this
Warned me that if I did
You would write a tell-all
Unauthorized biography
And call it:
My Life, My God, My Hell
A tribute to me and all that I cared to share
Written from yourpoint-of-view
I am certain that a lot of things will be left out
To prepare for your literary and promised revenge,
I will not tell them your name in my story
If you remember to include all of this in yours:
Tell them about how we met and how you promised
Romance and courtship and a life of eternal bliss.Tell them about MulhollandPark and the seventh of August
And the canyon drives and the poolside, moonlit baring of our souls.
Tell them about how I was nearly consumed by Hollywood
And how you saved me from myself
Tell them about how much you inspired me
And the weekend that we ran away and plotted a new life.
And tell them about how you would rather watch television
Than watch my heart unfold for you or make love
Tell them about how many times you made me cry
With your daily doses of they-did-me-wrongex-boyfriends
Tell them about the night that I tried to please you and your
Immoral fantasy and I shared you with another and it nearly killed me.
Tell them about all the times that you tried to push me away
And I was relentless in loving you, stealing away from myself.
