…No
Peaches
...and Cream
Getting
screwed
No longer
in the mood...
Boxcar blues…
Like one slap …in the face one, after another, after another
All the phony smiles… The countless ways, you show contempt
…the emotions betrayed…
Left with only memories of words of love you never meant
Sick and tired of you always staying out late
But when it comes to me… nothing works it seems
Months at a time, you give me only icy silent glares
Never in the mood for play, you only pout and brood
Of the endless battles with nothing in it for anyone but you
Feel just like a fool …getting played, getting ripped off
left torn and bloodied …in the background
You’ve misspent the wealth and left only ruins
With nothing left to save …of the memories of happier days
With no part to fill in your life, but to pay your cheating bills
just an insignificant other, A used to be lover
this has been one lonely taxi ride to nowhere
After …a long line of frustrations
Sentences with no punctuation
…machine gunned by what has become
a steady stream of rude awakenings,
finally, surrendering
The gloves come off I refuse to cry anymore, for you
Love has died here… There’s no reason Left to pretend
I can’t be "bought off" we seem not even to be friends
after all the pain and suffering all the false hopes
blank checks and "commitments" that were never kept
No attempt To mend the hurts, Tend the wounds
…To try to make it better you don’t even bother
those misspent years, the flood of tears
You’ve left me only Loneliness, in echoes of love
Lost in time so vast …they have become fossilized
Where all that’s left are scattered bones
Gleaned of every trace of marrow
And the lost hopes
…had been starved to death
When I’d finally come to realize
When I mistook you for an eagle…
Thought that we could soar together
Only to find you act more
like a sparrow
And all those
grandiose ideas
you planted…
Just thin disguises
for all those
bargain basement
lies
