Bleed Green

When I first met you, you didn't care. Then we got closer & my pain you shared. I thought I could pour out my soul to you, but you disguised yourself as my friend. You only had one thing in mind--him. He was all that mattered. No matter how you got to him, whether it hurt others, you didn't care. You were too greedy to see the pain in many people. You wear that green like you own it. All the while he ignored, you persisted but on the 'Down Low' Making others look bad while you're "perfect." But we know your game & we won't play. Only low lives like you play those games. We have important things to worry about, like what color hat to wear. That may not seem important to you but for us normal people that's more important than playing your childish games. Fortunately, we have our lives to live; it doesn't revolve around the 'him' we want or the 'her' we wish he didn't have. If I were you, I'd shed my green clothes, hair, make up & all, before I actually bleed green.
