lovenlosses

Like a cat with 9 lives
No matter what
You land on your feet
You come out on top.

The money, the clothes
The jewelry, the cars
The restaurants, the trips
The nights in the bars.

That winsome smile
That devilish grin
At any cost
You plan to win.

You get your way
By lying and stealing
You get what you want 
By wheeling and dealing. 

All the distortions
So hard to expel 
So smooth and so slick
You lie so damn well.

You should have to pay
For those things you do 
That hurt and contort
The facts and the truth.

But like a cat with 9 lives
No matter what
You land on your feet
You come out on top.

So hard to see you
It hurts so bad
Knowing it’s over
Feeling so sad.

You’re  holding her hand
It’s  breaking my heart
Knowing you’re with her
Tears me apart.

She gets your smile
And kiss good night
What happened to us?
This can’t be right.

My heart is racing
I’m feeling weak
How long have you known her?
Where did you meet?

What was it about her?
That you had to have
You seem so happy
You both start to laugh.

I want to forget you
And all of the times
That you said…. forever 
When you were mine. 

I feel like a fool
I don’t want to cry
Why did you leave me?
Why did you lie?

I’m ready to go
To get out of here
Please don’t walk over
That would be weird.

A tap on the shoulder
As I turn to leave
You say you’re sorry
That you’re missing me.

So hard to see you
Standing there 
My hands are shaking 
This isn’t fair.

Forcing a smile
I look in your eyes
I try to be cool
I try not to cry.

Don’t tell her that you love her
It’s nothing but a lie
You are  just pretending
She’ll  never know just why.

You’ll play her, then leave her
You’ll find somebody new
You’ll charm your way into her heart
She’ll  fall in love with you.

Going  through the motions
The wine and candlelight 
The sex… the best she’s ever had
Until that fateful night.

It’s nothing but a light switch
You turn it on …. then off
You play around …until the time
You finally do get caught.

You like the cat and mouse game
The beginning to  the end
You lead her on, you get your way 
You always play to win.

You make up a story
About having to work late
She buys it for a little while
She sits at home and waits.

You pack your bags, you leave a note
You tell her that you’re through
She falls apart, she blames herself
They never do blame you.

Stop touching me
Don’t stand so close
Don’t reach for me
Din’t take off your clothes.

You don’t want me
No plan to stay 
You’re using me
You’ll walk away.

Don’t look at me
The way you do
I know the truth
I see through you.

You need to go
Go now … please leave
You’re making me shake
You’re not what I need.

Don’t kiss me …. no
Please, please …. don’t start
Don’t hold me tight
Then break my heart.

I’m trying to heal
Don’t hurt me again
Please back away
This has to end.

You want it all
You just don’t care
When I need you
You won’t be there.

It’s getting late
Please listen to me
I need you to go
I’m begging you….. please.

They say Garageband’s easy
Sure if you’re twenty three
Try teaching an old dog new tricks
She’s  approaching seventy.

Brain cells fog …. eyesight’s poor
She can barely hear a thing
But Granny rocks it all night long
She loves to dance and sing.

She wrote a song about lost love
All the heartbreak and the pain
Needs some drums …. a cymbal or two 
To add to the refrain.

Playbacks are a lot of fun
I can’t help but laugh
Granny and her microphone
The tempo ….  kinda fast.

What the hell?   It’s just for fun
A way to pass the time
Lyrics sweet …. the pitch is off
But the melody is fine.

Next she’ll make a video
Hope I’m around for that
It’s got to be hysterical
Called, “Granny and her Cats”!

Look for her on YouTube 
She’s got it going on
Instagram and iTunes
A venue for her songs.

All the  lies and the deception
The empty promises you made
Like confetti in the wind
Nothing left that could be saved.

You said it was forever
Then severed all the ties
You turned and walked away
I sat alone … I wept … I cried.

Too much wine … too much sex
I should have never trusted you
You were a player … nothing more
You took my heart and my soul, too.

All the charm without emotion
That cunning smile upon your face
Every memory I recall 
I’m now so  desperate to erase.

All the trickery…. deceit
The wicked games that you play
All the nights there in your bed 
You plan ….. to always get your way.

Now she waits for you …. like I did
But you’re on to someone new
That’s because you’re just a player
And that’s what players … always do.

How long have you known 
You were going to cut me loose?
How long have you been seeing her?
Did she come on to you?

Last night you laid beside me
Put your arms around me tight
Were you just pretending
Things between us were all right?

When were you going to tell me?
What were you waiting for?
Did she make you happier
Were you wanting something more?

Were you bored or just unsatisfied
Was I simply not enough?
There was never any warning
I thought we were in love.

One more night together
This is so hard to believe.
Never thought that you would hurt me
Never thought that you would leave.

Salt in the wound
Seeing you here
Holding her hand
Makes it so clear.

Pain in my heart
A knife through the ribs
Remembering us
The things that we did.

Seeing you there
Hearing you laugh
She gets from you
Everything that I had.

Your hair in the sunlight
Glistens and shines
Here with some friends
For the music and wine.

A public occasion
An open venue
What were the chances
I’d run into you?

The sound of your voice 
Drives me insane
Can’t stand to hear her
Calling  your name.

I really can’t stay 
I’ve had enough
Having to see you
For me…. is too much.

Why can’t I find the strength
To run or to escape
To try and find a way
To forget my worst mistake?

Every corner …. everywhere 
Every move that I make
Every notion or concern
Every single step I take.

Overwhelming …. all consuming 
Why can’t you let me be?
I never have a moment’s peace
From this nagging memory.

Possession or obsession 
The memories persist
I need someone to break this spell
I need an exorcist.

All day long …. it never stops
Over and over again
I see your face …. I hear your voice
This madness has to end.

I’m running from the devil
I need to be set free
Free from this dark and evil spell
That you have cast on me.

What am I suppose to do
When you say you’re leaving?
What can I possibly say
To make you start believing?

Said we’d always be together 
Thought you were being honest
Believed you when you told me
You said forever, you  did…you promised.

Don’t let her come between us
You know that you are mine
She’ll never stay, she never does
She leaves you every time.

You’re just confused, I can tell
Let’s figure out a way
We’ll work it out….we always do
I need you….please, please stay.
