Opportunist

Smiles in face pale Benign heart fades to black Smart and sassy Opportunist at her peak Bottomlessness of ingratitude Shambles of shame Shadow of wrath Empty filthy air Heartless hopeless Tomorrow 'll come I'll see what it would be With you at the wheel So unbelievable I toiled,I worked I endured and I... But it's hard to believe I'm the butt The gun in your hand Fire away without care I don't care how it hurts Wished I had known better Well doesn't it serve me right Lost in close empty chase Trying to better what's lost Spoilt forever and ever Forever forever and a day Forever forever 'll make a way Forever forever I 'll say I did enjoyed the burnt stake I thank God it's now In shaky heavy heart Leaping relentlessly to stop Nothing for grabs Nothing for keeps The mannequin and her sword Piercing..oh pincer tear away in mercy The long long battle set We shall see how it goes.
