Voices Raised

You yell

you scream

you make me feel

like all is my fault

but really?

Let me ask

you fucked her

not me

how am I the one at fault?

You know you did me wrong

you wrecked my soul

my heart.

You promised me

that you loved me

would do anything for me

but you also swore

this would not happen

you would not fall.

Babe all I can say

I don’t know if I love you

the pain I feel

has more to do with respect

with broken trust

than actual love.

Not a  woman

just a child

you as well

come calling when you get tired 

of dirt

of hovels

of paper plates.

I will pick up the pieces.

You will come crawling

I ain’t stupid man.

I know what this game is.

Go ahead

watch me step back

hey babe

whose life means more?

Tongue tied

I know what is done

she ruined our fun

you don’t care

I am sorry to say

she will fuck you 

in the end.

(and she did)
