NOTHING 

Nothing is what you gave 

Nothing is what you are 

Nothing for us to save 

Nothing even now, afar.

–

Nothing is what you’ll do 

Nothing is what you stand for

Nothing left for me to do 

Nothing but closing that door.

–

Nothing is what you had in your heart

Nothingness you steered me to 

Nothing from the very start

Nothing but relief, now that we’re through…

Ex

I have nothing to say 

With little to do 

So kindly go away.

–

I needn’t see you 

Goodbye

So leave my view.

–

I know you didn’t cry 

You never had tears 

Never water in your eyes.

–

You had fears 

That I’d leave soon

I did after seven years.

–

Time is my boon 

I’m glad I left 

In February not June.

–

Of feelings you were bereft 

You never had an ounce of guilt

As you took everything, in theft.

–

I guess that’s how you were built 

Not capable of love or care 

Instead, you’d rather jilt. 

–

I doubt you were aware 

When I was about to leave 

You probably thought it unfair.

–

It was my turn, for once, to deceive 

And I did what you earned and deserved 

I swiftly left, and got my reprieve…

New Source

Kick up your heels

Get back on the horse

Adjust your reels

You’ve got a new source.

–

Set your hooks

Set up your bait

Spruce up your looks,

And just wait.

–

Get yourself a money train

Someone who’ll support y’all

And when he figures it out in vain

You’ll take him for a cash windfall.
