Charlie Brown

Your whole cycle of hopes raised,

Then strewn on the ground

Gave me flat-backed perspective,

The same view as Charlie Brown.

But why didn't he learn?

I eventually found

There's no sense in playing rigged games.

You're not the only catch around,

Only the most appealing, intriguing,

Only the most appalling, fatiguing.

I have reached the point with you where resignation becomes certainty.

It's the same unbelief in a different shade of indifference.
