Weekly Ludi #17

Weekly Ludi #17 is from way back when my generation (X) put the “D” in dysfunctional. This was a satirical take on a certain segment of romantic songwriting from that era. I still find it amusing...which probably makes one of me.

You took away my pride, you damaged me inside
(but left me satisfied---but maybe that was only me?)

You dragged me through the mud and drained my veins of blood,
but passion it did flood, almost drowning me.

(c) You wasted my time and taxed my troubled mind,
now would you be so kind and listen to me whine?

You blackened my skies and told me pointless lies,
it’s you I should despise (so why do I think less of me?)

And now I spout clichés like "I’m the mess you made...
but I wish you would have stayed", now all I’ve got is pathetic me.

I was dysfunctional, you were dysfunctional,
the whole world’s dysfunctional...it should have worked.

I’m not responsible!
