Monopoly Money
Started out even but
You know that because
(My fault)
It was only a game
You were just
Entertaining
That was really
My mistake. You
Took my foundation you
Stayed over you
Paid rent and you parked
In my mind in my heart
I thought you’d just be passing through
(You weren’t)
Well we weren’t even then
You know that because
You’d been throwing your
Monopoly money at me you’d been
Taking up residence just to
Stay for a while
But really you never left
But really I didn’t realize
But really
You
Turned it all around and you
Shook the board my houses collapsed
Red scattered I can still see it in your
Sweet cherry kiss
Green crashed to the ground it’s in your
Sea glass gaze
I’ve landed on you
And your soft pretty hair
And your dazzling smile
And your heart, I think
I’ll never have the Monopoly money
To make you let me stay but
What have I got
To lose
