Reconciled
Attentively you watch me
for an actual concrete sign
That hope against hope it won't
With your new fear align
Is it truly over
has she given up the fight
You show up where I say I will be
watch from the shadows of night
More proof you never bothered to know me
Your measuring by what you'd select
Unloyal, unfaithful,not given to respect
It boggles your mind another way I conscientiously choose to elect
I see you poorly dealing with what your
Your own hands have wrought
You sense disconnection fear
Coming rejection more than you feared getting caught
The only concern as you carelessly
Set this whole nightmare in motion
Playing at length with another's heart
Without love,with no whiff of devotion
Full circle you drew cause it's all about you
and immediate gratification
When you play you must pay and it seems it's payday
for your regular fidelity vacation
You thought it was over
When you walked away
It seems that your lover
had something to (the old ball and chain)left to say
I knew the moment I
answered the door
Saw the determined face
Of your recent scorned whore
Knew she came not
As the bearer of good news
Maybe you kids can
Still work this thing out
Know I've not a dog
In this race theres no doubt
So don't let me stand in your way
