• Cool breeze
    Lawn chair
    Feeling at ease
    Without a care

    Corona Lime
    Sun tan
    Passing the time
    with my man

    Radio on
    Shades down
    by the pond
    Peace abounds

    Thoughts swirling
    relief dispersing
    I look at you
    and then i know

    Conclusions collect
    reasons remain
    My heart pounds
    There is no trace
    of any sound

    Late nights
    deleted calls
    this all makes sense
    but what about
    our marital fence

    Emotions sway
    Hatred builds
    I can't understand
    How could you treat me this way?

    Sadness rises
    Words spew
    You were my keepsake
    What was i to you

    Crumpled trash?
    debts not paid?
    a horrible rash
    that always stayed?

    trust evaporates
    no calming descends
    my anger blazes
    as you drop to beg

    You had your chance
    and I had mine
    You wasted yours
    and i blew mine

    I should have listened
    to what my mind had said
    and not have cared
    what my heart had pled

    I will not fall
    for your trap again
    get off your knees
    get out of here

    You must have thought
    I wouldn't find
    because you say
    you never lied

    I am not a fool
    nor am I arrogant
    I know your story
    Don't waste my time

    I look in your eyes
    and I see no regret
    all I see
    is for a chance in bed

    An eye for an eye
    and a tooth for a tooth
    all this I know
    In that moment of truth.
