Tears On a Rug

She walks
fast 
talk slow

sometimes
her days crash
and words just flow
she dance her nights
to sleep

Talk 
her dayz is deep 
her impression of life
is looking good 
and smelling fine
in eyes of others
But 
Behind close doors
her tears 
roll steaming 
off her caramel 
skin 

in to a Rug 
where her love 
begin and end 

with a thug 
thats cares within

He crush his enemy 
buys her everything 
a penny brings accept 
love 

sleeps around with any 
girl after nights 
at the club 

Oh she's standing 
on the rug 
he was killed on 
blood drip like
sweat from his 
face and she 
stares into 
a dark life 
full of disgrace
with tears on the rug
