lovenlosses

Head over heels
I thought I found paradise
I didn’t see it, didn’t know
That you would ruin my life.

Thrown to the wolves
Left on the side of the road
You walked away, didn’t care
Never thought you would go.

Torn limb from limb
Devoured, took all of my pride
I didn’t know, how could I?
You had cheated, you lied.

Shocked, devastated
Was hit from behind
Laughed when I cried
I was out of my mind.

Every intention conspired
Was planned.…calculated
Thought you’d come back 
I sat there and I waited.

You were long gone
Passed the point of no return
No chance to recover
I had crashed, left to burn.

You’ll never know
Never know what I feel 
Nothing about you is safe
Nothing real.

Head over heels
Thought I found paradise
I didn’t see it.…. didn’t know
That you would ruin my life.

Belly up!
The end is here
What you believed
Now crystal clear. 

Nothing that
You gained or lost
Ever came
Without a cost.

Fame and fortune
A fool’s gold
Can be exchanged
For one’s mere soul.

Satan beckoned
The lure , the lust
So much to lose
The love, the trust. 

Hard to resist
You wanted more
But always knew 
What was in store. 

You held your own
You did  believe
You tried your best
In time of need.

Trinkets gathered
Now left behind
All that remains
Tarnished in time. 

Though you tried 
You couldn’t win
Would not conspire 
Give in to sin. 

You watched in wonder
Shook your head
Before you knew it
You were dead.

Belly up 
They found you there
They passed you by
They didn’t care.

But welcome home
Into the fold
As you were promised 
You were told. 

Passing thru 
The pearly gates
Rewarded for 
Your strength and faith.

Whether you are young or old.

You can’t rest till it is done
See it thru .… right to the end. 

It wakes you in the morning
An idea comes in your head
You jump up, so excited 
No way you’ll stay in bed. 

You can feel the surge, the power
Ideas swirling all about
Your mind is filled with hopes and dreams
No room for fear or doubt.

In the distance is the finish line
You can see it, feel it too
It won’t  be long , you’ve got this
It’s calling out to you. 

The thrill, the high, the ecstasy
Nothing can compare
Some say you love the risk.…the score
Some say you like the dare. 

It’s vision, something you can see
Often beyond the moon and stars
It beckons and propels you
It makes you who you are.

For he means just what he says 
These are dark times, these are sad times
He has plans to get his way.

They’ll be assassinations
Criminals will be set free
He’ll disband our laws, our government 
He’ll destroy democracy.

He is threatening more violence
He’s a scheming, evil fraud.

You might need to move abroad. 

They’ll be camps to control the masses
Anyone he deems a threat
If he gets back into office
They’ll be serious regrets.

His supporters follow blindly
He’s impervious to shame
He’s a narcissist, a maniac 
The master of this game. 

He knows how to play the system 
He never takes the blame
Surrounded by fools and  sycophants 
That thrive on lust and fame.

A failed, pathetic liar
Using other’s  moving parts
To get just what he wants to
He’s shown you from the start. 

He has to be defeated
Even then he’s threatening
He will inspire a violent end
They’ll be a reckoning.
