Move On, Sweetheart

Sweetheart, don’t continue to weep Although challenges hijack your pesky trip For hours on end sorrow and pain won’t let you sleep Fact is that you have so much to give With much power your oppressors to forgive Including the heartless Steve Who stole your heart Ate to his heart’s content your tart And from your bosom chose to depart But although you suffered a heartbreak You hold so much at stake If you now avoid company that smells and feels fake To prevent injecting into your space Company with the acrid and acid ace Whose wish aims at spoiling the surface You hold dear From which you invite no tear Alongside a dumb dose of fear Which belongs to Hell As betrayal you can’t always foretell Cos a traitor doesn’t always ring a warning bell To put on guard your feet As you suck a happy sweet And a Prince Charming you long to meet Your heart to gladden To decrease the beastly burden Someone lumbers you with, all of a sudden In the wee hours of the night Snuffing out your light Stealing your delight Sinking into your broken back a dagger As a heartless partner pulls the trigger Giving you no chance to figure Out what tricks he has up his sleeves As in your circle he scatters sorrow leaves Showing he belongs to pitiful heart thieves Worth little Less than spittle And once for all, his pesky memories soon make brittle.
