First Time I Heard Him Use Ain'T

First Time I Heard Him Use Ain’t Ain’t you the one who said forever? Yes, that was me. Ain’t you the one who said I’d never? Yeah, that was me also. Ain’t you the one who swore til death? Oh, uh right. Ain’t you the one until your last breath? Yeah, I guess so. Ain’t you the one wbo promised to protect? Well ….. Yes, but. Ain’t you the one who promised to respect? You don’t understand… Ain’t you the one whose love was undying? I can explain…. Ain’t you the one who now is lying? Uhhhh ……. Ain’t you the one who asked to be led? I was desperate…. Ain’t you the one who wanted to be fed? I’m fine now. I gave you what you asked for, your still more sinner than saint. You’ve frustrated me so that I used the word ain’t. 8/5/16
