Relieved and Deceived

Deceived and Relieved I knew it would end in tears. The trouble is: I never cry. You’ve realised all my fears. And I didn’t blink an eye. I knew where I stood, so goodbye. Run away from every painful fact, Back to momma, I won’t die. I found you out, no need to act. Well, I wasn’t born yesterday. Even though I think you were. You haven’t enough courage to stray. Go tell tales, unfounded to her. The money’s gone, all’s dried up. The idiot’s no fool; I knew your plan. There’s no more overflowing cup. Want my advice? Get away while you can. David Cox 15/05/18
