Poem
I tell you I’ll be out of town You wear a frown But that’s all part of your plan It’s all an act You think I know not the fact You try to fool me You sob and plead You beg me to stay home some more To cancel my tour You are such an actor You hide the fact that you are a traitor You carry my bags You help me to the car You tell me you love me You cry…false tears You hold my hands You make endless promises You cry some more I kiss your teary cheeks I feign sorrow Your act I borrow Knowing deep in my heart Knowing you are a liar and a cheat Knowing you are unfaithful Knowing you mock our vows Knowing your promises are empty Knowing all your secrets Saying nothing Acting innocent and dumb Hoping our vows still mean something You walk me to the car You promise to stay away from the bar But deep in my heart I know you are a drunk I know all your secrets I know about your mistress I’ve cried secrets tears in distress But today it all ends I’ve seen all the bends Your secret routes and deeds I would no longer play the fool You’ve broken all the rules But today it all ends I won’t get into a fight My future is so bright I hold your hand so tight I let a tear slip I bid you goodbye By Sylvia Chika sylviachika@gmail.com http://sylviachika.blogspot.com/ http://sylviachika.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/sylviachikablog Twitter:@sylviaoz © SylviaChika 2016
