Reconciled

Attentively you watch me
for an actual concrete sign

That hope against hope it won't
With your new fear align

Is it truly over
has she given up the fight

You show up where I say I will be
watch from  the shadows  of night

More proof you never bothered to know me
Your measuring by what you'd select

Unloyal, unfaithful,not given to respect
It boggles your mind another way I conscientiously choose to elect

I see you poorly dealing with what your
Your own hands have wrought

You sense disconnection fear
Coming rejection more than you feared getting caught

The only concern as you carelessly 
Set this whole nightmare in motion

Playing at length with another's heart
Without love,with no whiff of devotion

Full circle you drew cause it's all about you
and immediate gratification

When you play you must pay and it seems it's payday
for your regular fidelity vacation

You thought it was over
When you walked away

It seems that your lover
had something to (the old ball and chain)left to say

I knew the moment I
answered the door

Saw the determined face
Of your recent scorned whore

Knew she came not
As the bearer of good news


Maybe you kids can
Still work this thing out

Know I've not a dog
In this race theres no doubt


So don't let me stand in your way
