Limping
What is this?
Some kind of a game, boy?
Thought we were cool!
Now you walk away, ha
What happened to your limp
You attracted me with your weakness
I, the strong woman
What happened to your rap songs
Verse after verse you sang for me
Now, you only talk in yes/no, nope!
What happened to the bow and arrow you held
Strong man, ready to fight my fights
Now your only love is the videogames!
I see that you can now walk straight
Leaving, stealing, glooming
Taking your limp to another strong-weak girl!
You are a beautiful feather to look at
But i've got to let you go
Because you are empty, holding nothing
So light that the wind blows you anywhere you want to go, to break a heart.
