Letter to Bob

Dear Bob,
It has been mighty long 
That I have licked my wounds and cursed your song. 
I wish you had warned me, Bob, 
That the lying bastard came only to rob 
My shame bathed in my suppressed sobs. 
Did you not tell him, Bob 
That a man with no good intention 
Is a mere coward to awaken a woman’s affection 
Only to feed her a dose of rejection? 
And Bob, 
I bet you turned ten times already in your grave 
To witness that dirty, low-down knave! 
I don’t know why he takes up  
Sunday morning space in the pew 
Such a lying bastard has made me a miserable  shrew. 
And he- an apt description of the one 
Who wears many faces to meet the faces he meets, 
Has his fans believing he is far above
Suspicion 
But Bob, you and I know 
that lying bastard casts his face from  
The very seed he sowed. 
He came to rob and he came to kill 
That insidious lying bastard 
Will one day swallow his own pill.

Thieves and murderers always live close, it seems. But time catches up with them all, and Bob knows this.
