Nothing at stake

Day by day the memory of you slowly fades
like I’ve pulled the ace of heart instead of spades.
I thought things would be easier without daily doubt
and living without the need to struggle and shout.
I knew things would be quiet at night
but I didn’t know I’d feel this…all right.
Straight about the whole distended situation
looking back without any feelings of obligation
without the petty arguments that shadow the end
but I guess this is something we all like to pretend.
Make up some new reasons to moan and complain
where you look around and see what you couldn’t gain.
I guess I got lucky this time without the emotional heartbreak
but I guess it’s easy when you don’t have anything at stake.

Author's Note: This is about when you have a relationship with someone you dont really care for.. and how it seems that its not as heartbreaking when things come to an end..
