I Deserved Better 

I’m losing my cool 

It can’t be helped

Played for a fool.

That’s how I felt

Irritated inside

Like a fresh welt.

Damn my pride

Such a waste

Nowhere to hide.

As I leave post haste

Trapped in the lies

I can’t just cut and paste.

Yet, you gave me your thighs

I do not know why

To lows from such highs.

Makes me cry

Foolish tears 

Why’d you lie?

I guess it was fears

Of what may come

And where your heart steers.

Now I feel dumb 

For buying it all

As well as numb.

Like I’m 2 foot small

Reduced to nothing

Kneeling, I crawl.

There was just huffing 

No love to be found

All the while your McGuffing

When I wasn’t around

You found better

And left me on the ground.

A Dear John Letter

Without a sound

I deserved much better…

Crushed

She really took him for such a fall.

He had no idea until it was too late.

There’s nothing that could be done at all.

Just pack it up, and call it a day.

Try bouncing a ball against the wall.

That should clear your weary mind.

Or placate further, hike a hill that’s tall.

It’s over now, for this, there is no debate.

One day soon, you’ll be clear of this squall…

Love Rejected 💔

What can I do

What can I say

It’s now all moot

Since you’ve gone away.

I gave you love

Without fear or scare

You left with a shove

I guess life isn’t fair.

You called me a beast

In our passionate bed

Now crumbs and not a feast

In my wearied head

No goodbyes

Or final embrace

I choked on your lies

With tear stained face.

We shared our souls

Mutual attraction fed

Now nothing consoles

You chose him, instead.

At least in the end

You finally fessed up

But late omission is not a friend

But a bitter cup.
