I Let You Go

I let you go I have no remorse Your selfish actions I will not endorse How many women have had a love demise You're lying in bed but no compromise Your soul is sick your heart is burnt out No blood in your veins but a septic gout You bled us dry depleted our finances Gorge on our labor to the devil pay penances You conceited arrogant malfunctioning male Lies dropping from your lips like winters hail Bedding the innocent and unsuspecting fawn Your condition spread out on the world's front lawn You said this is healing and a new beginning But they were just words empty of feeling You ask what it is I need you to do Nothing since I can't trust you to be ever true
