Feb 2022 folk breakup sad melancholic moody
Oh, a bit of a sad one
It’s a consequence we didn’t imagine
We ask ourselves just how did it happen
We tried our best to communicate
We tried our best to relate to each other
But then we took it too far
Respectful discourse is a pretty low bar
Sometimes we take it too far
We never thought that we’d be fighting like this
As if each other’s opinions don’t exist
When did we become so self-obsessed?
Trying to score points in a bid to impress?
We can’t go on like this
Standing apart, looking over the abyss
No, we can’t go on like this
Perhaps it’s time we called it a day
We’ve run out of things to say
Perhaps it’s best to call it a day

Very honest and heart felt, I think most any of us can relate (if not you probably haven't lived and loved enough yet). Nice job!

Wow, what an accurate portrayal of being at the end of a relationship. There's a kind of cerebral standing apart analyzing the situation that the tone and the rhymes and the rhythm all reinforce. No more fiery sparks of anger, just done. Phew. Great work.
