The truth, I got used.


I will tell the truth. I got used

He blew into my life and sang tales of our long lost love

Of my little mannerisms and my palming touch on his head

And I recalled, gasped, sighed and was tempted

How he sang of a haunting love that he could not keep

That I had forgot, and he held on to, and I believed him

Thinking to myself; My, what a troubled soul!

I let my guard down, we ignited once more

And Oh what a fiery blaze! Hotter than ever before

There was no remorse when so obviously overwhelmed

But cowardice is an old legendary known vice to man

And he fled to guard himself just as he had before

And I thirsted for more, my sleeping hunger re-awakened

And my pangs turned to anger and I vowed to forget

Just as I had before, the truth now so clear, I got used.

And so my hunger found a new and wholesome meal

Vibrant, vivacious, creative and Oh so passionate meal

And I gasped, sighed and was tempted.

There was no cowardice, for not all men partake of it

And I let go of anger, just as before, and again forgot,

My hunger did not sleep this time and I fed and still do

He is haunted, troubled by a love that he could not keep

And I think to myself; Oh what a troubled cowardly soul!

But now I understand, how he thrives in his misery

When sadness is almost spent, and happiness looms

He will look for me, and start all over, compelled to find a reason

To refresh his misery, and be inspired to write sad tragic poems

And idealize the memory of us, while his life drudges on...

I got used, that is the truth.
