Dinner Date

Bring all your revenges to the table Sit them down and serve them well Crystal cut glass, French Champagne And listen to the stories that they will tell Place guilt across from regret Whilst heartbreak and sin reacquaint Thoughts starched up cotton napkins Dine with both the sinner and the saint Lies like locust swarms spelt in sentences on the menu Anger boils over erupts spoiling the setting Ego attempts a humble hasty intervention But memories x-ray sharp prevent forgetting Tensions trek arduously around this table Whilst fear scavenges for dirty little secrets Elusive emotion makes an elegant appearance Upping the ante, everyone taking side bets I thought I heard someone call my name It was coward hiding behind the door post How could I not go to his aid? I really must leave and assist him, after all I am the host
