Mrs Lenda

I knew the day we met that we were meant to be I realized our destiny was set and she was the one for me She was rich in beauty but poor for she will die with it Her appearance nonplussed me and I couldn't hold the steerage of my course anymore She is the one I consented to have on my slender thighs At that point her pearly lips gave appointments to mine This lady killed me and roasted my carcass Leaving the scavangers performing the post-moterm I walked tall in the genesis of our affair Now I'm wrecked…. Higgledy-piggledy daughter of a lesser god! Today, deluged with anger I regret The day I met this devil incarnate;the mastermind behind the bleeding of my heart She tattooed my heart with wounds;I no longer have a clean heart Her friends and her drunk the gushing blood of my wounded heart That night my heart contorted into painful lumps But I had to forgive the being that created her and put her in my world Bitter are my words,she is a nonsense with no sense at all Daughter of Jezebel-show up on the day I get laid to rest;lower me to the ground,let me down like you always have-stupid creature!Nkt!
