THE WOMAN WITH THE LONG NECK

Amedeo Modigliani ©

I said sometimes it’s better just not to ask
but your love stood strong and pressed hard-on through that
maybe I should've lied but my two wrongs wouldn't a made it right.
And however pathetic it sounds upon it’s hearing it’s true I have been tried
and have tried, and god knows I’ve asked him why.

And what little I am able to know of love I know that it hurts, it’s sick, it’s sick, it’s sick...
