He was there when she cried
Because her man broke her heart
He knew dude was a player
And to him it was an art
She heard all the stories
About him and his old chick
He isn't gonna change
He'll keep doin the same shit
The stories were one sided
She had to see for herself
And he was real generous
Gave her half of his wealth
was there to take her out
Drove her to every mall
While she was out shopping
He went to play ball
He had a 4 year scholarship
Yea, his future was set
And while she loved him so
It was her that he'd forget
He knew how to make her smile
Took her out on the town
Two days later, like clockwork
Again she was wearing a frown
So she called her friend
He was always there when she needed
And told him everything about
How her boyfriend had cheated
This was a long time coming
Things had started to go bad
And she wasn't sure
If she wanted to go back
He said, "He isn't gonna change,
He'll keep doin the same shit.
Just like I have.
If you haven't noticed."
Double sided coin
ReplyDeleteShe took the bait and left the hook
Half blind
he tries to interpret her look
His fingers feignin warm honey
She's caught up in money
Sharks swimming in her voicemail
The arguments fill the atmosphere
with the smell of half baked
good intentions
She lays on the bed
hoping to be needed for more than convulsions
He loathes her,
yet complacency holds him captive
to substance and landmass
locked on a Deadpool
drowning in misery
Ice cubes melting
reflecting red-eyed neglect
Children's laughter seem to mock him
He licks his lips to taste the tobacco
The smoke encases him
back into a screen
The pleasure illusion dissipates
Six cans lay unrecyclable
One for each wasted hour
One for each regret
Two for the children of the other man's loins which he could never
seem to escape facing
She notices his frustration and vacates the premises
Quiet strife builds a foretress,
Her annoyances hang from a window like woven gold
Growing down towards grown zero until she explodes
Rubble...Rubbish...Pieces...Barking ...Lying...Screaming...Fighting...Heathens ride in
He can't see her,she dies invisibly on both sides
