Poem Title:
Poem
He disappears again. Can't say that I'm surprised I know he thinks when he comes home, that hell be chastised But I won't say a word cause I'm all out breath Sick from pacing round in circles like I'm high on meth I know it's pointless to try to talk to you So many promises, so little follow through With words, there's no denying, you're the master But what starts as hopefulness, ends in disaster There's this place for you, I made inside of me Cut a hole inside my heart where only you would be Safe and protected, by my love so strong I thought you'd never leave but baby, I was wrong You walked away from me, you left so long ago Now that part of me? It's dark and hollow Tried to replace you but nothing fits the hole Sometimes your body's here but it's missing the soul And I've laid awake, so many nights that I lost count You've taken so much, I lost track of the amount All the times I needed you and you were absentee? Why can't you go back to who you used to be? But I can't change a man who never even was The jokes on me. Clap clap, applause. You fooled me once so shame on you Fooled me 5000? Shame on me too. And even as I write this rhyme I know I'll never find the time To tell you that I've had enough To just get out, to pack your stuff I know that when you do come back You'll say you're sorry, you went off track And then you'll string words one by one Til I'm enchanted by the phrase you spun I'll wear your lies like fine jewelry And we'll both live blissful in foolery
