vows of commitment, promised
anytime and anywhere, brought
hope and expectation—but they
were all built on lies or
maybe a misunderstanding of
your true intentions but now
you’ve been exposed for the
duplicitous man you are.
mine eyes must be like
those of your mistress and
my voice, wonder if you’d
rather hear hers, tell me
when you sing with passion are
the words a reflection of
love that you desire to
share with someone else.
but now my heart has
turned a new direction and the
thought of what you’re losing has you
singing “woe is me,” and those
virulent indiscretions leave you
fighting for survival ‘cus your
heuristic way of living led to
health diminishing.
well, cry me a river or
possibly an ocean but
we now must end this painful
series of affliction and just
leave it all behind us, neither
hope nor expectations, no more
bitterness and lies…farewell
to you I bid adieu!
