Poem Title:
Poem
Too Good For Me You want me to be a dancer But my rhythm is in my speech Always asking me for answers When the words are out of reach You say I've got no angel Watching over me She left to be a hooker Turning tricks out in the street. You think i should step careful And not talk so loud You say I'm hard to handle I lend no comfort in a crowd Look at you standing naked in the rain Ya you, praying for lovers that never came. You, you can't dream beyond your pain. You ,you're too good for me. I live without direction My compass is the breeze A mirror with no reflection My song has no melody. The bottle feeds my madness My denial cures my pain. My storm lends only thunder Never brings the healing rain You say I'm wild and restless I live life for the now My Genie granted a death wish. I'm more than the law will allow Look at you a toxic valentine. You, your dozen not worth a dime. You, your poetry always rhymes You, you're too good for me Time is such a skilled thief Steals what we never know is gone There's no future in a tea leaf Always sacrifice your pawn My handshake hides a clinched fist My smile disguises my disdain My love breeds an infection With no cure for the disease and it's pain You, your candle burnt out long ago You, always doing what you're told You, your promise bought and sold. You, you're too good for me.
