The Dripping Blood From Her Heart Needed To Clot
the dripping blood from her heart needed to clot
the couple was rolling along in their boat
on a river to nowhere, on a cloudy day
when she decided to push him overboard
she was tired of his cheating ways
who cares if he ended up as driftwood
she blew him a last kiss, pretentious
she then looked into his inquiring eyes
now submerged under the water alongside the boat
his body contorted, bubbles blowing from his mouth
words on lips asking why
he was sinking to his death, as driftwood
she laughed, she had the oars
she could give a damn
especially with all the hurt he caused her
the scratches of note paper in his pockets
the phone numbers with hearts next to it
one with a 10+
the women's scent on his body
the condoms
and especially of the written guilt on his face
with more hidden excuses, agendas
like he had spent his passion elsewhere
and was always tired when he was with her
he was a con's con
she had enough of being brokenhearted
used and abused, trampled on, shared
it was easy for her to sniff it all out
like a basset hound that was on his trail
searching for the scent of unfaithfulness
to say the basset hound in her went wild
is understatement
it barked at his feet
nipped at his legs, ripped his dignity apart
ever so appropriately
she was angry then and now
she rolled her boat away quickly
and never looked back
unlike before
the sun was now shining on the river
glistening the surface
a picture perfect day
with the wind blowing on her face
nicely
she continued to row away
as she composed a letter in her mind
I was once your friend and lover
turned wound up toy that you played with
it's a game to you, candy that you suck on
acquiring many flavors as you can
running from one hen to the next
at my cost and sorrow.
I'm done with you
the dripping blood from my heart needed to clot
