Brillaint and Resilient

BOTH BRILLIANT AND RESILIENT I went along even though she wanted to rule She forgave me for being such an ungrateful fool We both thought we had settled the score’ She got a boyfriend and I got a whore She crossed the proverbial street by design But I crossed the god forsaken line She did what she did due to a hormone I did what I did because of testosterone It was a game of tit-for-tat and all that I cursed once more with a tip o’ my hat Her only solution was retribution But I didn’t need her nor her absolution She was clever but I was mo**er fu**ing brilliant Women get weary but us men are resilient What counts is being able to bounce right back And not lose what you have and find what you lack she was no saint but I was a sinner And as it turned out there was really no winner I still remember the day a bolt of lightning split us apart Yet she will always be a part of my tear stained heart © 2011...Phreepoetry ~free poetry!~
