Absent-minded
You forgot my name
Calling out women until you got it right
One of them was your old flame
But it would be wrong of me to bite
You forgot my birthday
And went out with your ex
Much to my dismay
Were seen kissing at the multiplex
You forgot all the things I said
Not once or twice, but three or four
Then you spent the evening in the shed
Because I locked the door
Then I forgot where I put the key
Honestly, I searched everywhere
In-between dinner and tea
But no longer had the time to spare
I forgot about you as days went by
I never went down there
Unnerved by the strange cry
It's not that I didn't care
I forgot about you in the shed
When the demolition began
I thought the screams were in my head
Burying you alive was never my plan
I’m Not a Control Freak
I’m not a control freak, I just want you to clean the crumbs off the floor after you’ve made a sandwich. And if you could reseal the bread and put the butter-stained knife in the sink, that would be good too. I don’t even understand how you manage to line the entire kitchen floor with breadcrumbs. Is this some weird Hansel and Gretel parody that you’re trying out?
I’m not a control freak, really, but can you wipe the bathroom floor after you’ve gotten out of the bath. I know the local swimming pool closed down, but you don’t need to do a recreation of how it used to look. I can’t even swim. While we’re on the subject on the bathroom, can you wipe the toilet and surrounded floor area after you’ve finished doing your business? Better yet, get a better aim.
I really don’t think I’m a control freak, but I would love it if you didn’t come home and put all your bags on the bed. I’ve seen you put them down on the floor outside; the same floor covered in mud and people’s spit. If I wanted those germs on the bed I’d take the duvet outside and drag it across the floor myself, but I suppose you’d think that was a strange thing to do.
I have to insist it’s not me being a control freak, when I ask to cover your mouth when you sneeze. As much as I love you, I have no desire to be covered in your bodily fluids.
I AM NOT A CONTROL FREAK!
