Your Unforgivable Behaviour

For almost two years you’ve been out of my life
Your mercenary actions caused me heartache and strife

I’ve worked so hard for everything around me
Yet the house where you live you got for free

I held five part-time jobs so I could pay my own way
Yet in thirty years you’ve not worked one single day  

You cheat and you lie with such accuracy
All you ever think about is ME ME ME

Well honey I’ve just got one thing to say
If you arrived at my door I’d turn you away

I NEVER ever want to set eyes on you again
Your behaviour makes me think you’re insane!

chosen word 3  - Unforgivable
