I'Ll Leave You Behind Co-Write With J W M Earnings

Do you believe in me when I’m running this race? Do you think I am a disgrace? Baby, I’m not sorry for the words I utter Your words were as suave and appealing as butter, But it stabbed me like a jagged knife I know you made my day, despite the negativity I want to let go of worry and let my mind wrap around positivity You left me without a trace Beads of sweat rolls off my face Don’t you dare say you’re not beautiful Because you are everything to me…you’re pitiful You were running to fast as I stood in this place You didn't stop for a second to look at my face You buttered me up, smothered me good I responded, in kind, how anyone would You said I was sugar, said I was spice But I was naughty. I wasn't nice You left me no choice I muffled your voice I teased and I played, tugged at your strings I had you soaring in air, then cut off you wings I don't sweat a man of your kind Good looks, fake smile...... I'll leave you behind Check out the musings of J.W.M Earnings http://www.poetrysoup.com/poems_poets/poems_by_poet.aspx?ID=20082
