Escaping Illusions

Escaping Illusions A person can only take so much Guess you ran out of luck, huh? What’s next? What did he do? What didn’t he do? You can’t have your cake and eat it too. How can she treat you like a king? If you can’t understand what she speaks He never says what he means Don’t you get it? She’s not your queen Anyone can solicit some explicit lines But actions speak louder than words Keep this mind for the next time He’s trying to find his true love Make her your one and only Cause ignorance hides behind falsifications So lonely Love and attention… Was it too much to ask for? She gave you a hundred and fifty percent Nothing less, but nothing more And to think that your expression was heaven-sent Well, looks can be deceiving when you exaggerate to escape And procrastinate on the moves she wanted to make So what’s to blame? It couldn’t be fame We all know this game It’ll never change So all of his excuses are long term and lame This expedition has expired Send this message as “URGENT” She’s ready to ride out without him Cause he’s no longer worth it… So pack up her bags and leave everything else behind Cause you’ve coasted in neutral for the very last time Out of sight and out of mind Until the next time we see eye to eye Closure from the unpredictable These are her good-byes By: Aleasha A. Martin
