The Drifter

You come and go as you please Knowing it pleases me not. Floating in, your ambiance Makes the situation rot. Your past orders for me To self destruct still work And I stand here crying for An end to this feeling of Berzerk. You broke me in two No, you shattered me in triumph So many pieces and I just See no compliance. You want things to go Your way this time Like you deserve a voice You don’t, you stepped out of line. You come in and take and take Leaving nothing but scraps What ever became of the wake Where she was torn, you, laid back? You seized a moment To brazenly grapple with talent Of keeping a family together Laughing at the dead parent. You drifted from them Because you wanted life On your terms only Ignoring your abuse, my gripe. Now I have past orders From you to lash out When you’re around To create in them, doubt. Never did they see this Coming the way that it has I would rather kiss a snake Thank to be known as The drifter’s family.
