lovenlosses

Incendiary accusations
Send chills straight up my spine
Feelings you’ve been harboring
Have been there all the time.

The rage, the hurt, the anger
Intended …meant for me
Have now finally surfaced
True colors openly.

Innocent, no malice
I’ve loved you, no regrets
Why is it so damn easy
For you to just forget?

Vindictive, cold and boorish
You turned your back on me
I didn’t see this coming
Never thought that you would be

So unkind, so mean, so cruel
Seething with revenge
Never saw that side of you
It makes me want to cringe.

No remorse, guilt or shame
Who knew you felt this way?
So arrogant, above reproach
Making sure I pay.

Judge and jury, you decide
No one makes mistakes
Passing judgement, sentencing
Your right… for heaven’s sake.

CYNDI LAUPER: TRUE COLORS

Feeling your touch
Was never enough
Consumed, over come
Can’t help…but succumb.

The scorch of desire
The heat of this fire
Has blackened and charred
Left lingering scars.

But, can’t stop myself
For me… no one else
The moment surreal
The probing hot steel.

Nothing more on my mind.
Can’t you see? I am blind
My eyes closed, still dark
The friction, the sparks.

Igniting the lust
That fuels this deep crush
Too hot to control
My body… my soul.

CHRIS ISSAC…… WICKED GAME

You turn your back, you walk away
You cover up your tracks
No second thoughts of empathy
Or reason to turn back.

The underlying anger
The seething rage within
The need to feel empowered
The constant drive to win.

You listen for the slip up
A reason, justified
Quick to severe all the ties
If one does not comply.

Walking through a landmine
Be careful, watch your step
Waiting for a reason
A reason to forget.

Written off so easily
Guess I saw it coming
Not a brand new concept
Was something you’ve been wanting.

You’ve shut me out, turned me away
Love comes with strings attached
It’s never unconditional
You will see to that.

Not new or unexpected
You’ve done this all before
You pride yourself on being cold
You’ve locked and closed the door.

Stuck in the groove
Still wanting you
So hurt, ashamed
What can I do?

Drowning in
A pool of fear
I’m never getting
Out of here.

Needing to
Come up for air
Facing that
You just don’t care.

Lost it all
The day we met
I try so hard
But, can’t forget.

Years of torment
Paralyzed
Could not believe
Believe my eyes.

Watched you walk
Right out the door
Leaving me
Still wanting more.

Stuck in the groove
While you moved on
Can’t stop playing
This old sad song.

Barricades and padlocks
Chain linked around my heart
Once inside, the damage done
My world was torn apart.

No bartering or pleading
It’s there ….written on the wall
Don’t come any closer
Looks like you’re going to fall.

Finally got your number
No longer next in line
That train has left the station
Looks like I’ve changed my mind.

Well passed the point of no return
There’s nothing left to do
Got tired of playing second best
Got tired of wanting you.

The tricks and magic potions
That made me lose my mind
Brought me down to my knees
But, now ….I’m feeling fine.

Barricades and padlocks
Up ahead… the road is blocked
You’re no longer welcome here
That door’s been shut, it’s locked.

In the midst of this pandemic
We are taking a vacation
No thought of risks or germs
No cures or vaccinations.

Not going to take precautions
No masks or latex gloves
Ignoring all the warning signs
They’re just not meant for us.

We’ll do our thing, no worries
We ‘re not the least bit scared
Not thinking about the droplets
That linger in the air.

We feel fine , no symptoms
No coughing and no fever
You’ll see…. we’re going to be just fine
Just ask that Old Grim Reaper!

No hospital or ICU
Like I said, we’re having fun
We don’t believe in science
Microscopes or medicine.

Defiant and oppositional
My views are fixed and strong
I live in a state of ignorance
No one dares to prove me
wrong.

Please don’t tell me what to do
I’ll make up my mind
Always thinking you know best
But it’s not yours… it’s mine.

It’s my mistake, not yours to make
My folly, my decision
I decide… when to turn back
Avoiding a collision.

Making a suggestion
Could be helpful or unkind
But, in the end it ‘s up to me
Don’t try to change my mind.

So damn sure, no room for doubt
Always in control
Expecting me to follow suit
And do just what l’m told.

But, you are not the boss of me
I’m not asking you for help
Just wanted you to listen
Will take care of things myself.

Didn’t ask for your directive
For you to tell me what to do
Why can’t you just be there for me
Like I am there for you?

A sounding board to lend an ear
To comfort and console
Not looking to be criticized
Rejected or controlled.

I don’t want to see you
Or get too close to you
What’d ya want from me
Or think I’m gonna do?

I signed all your papers
I gave you everything
It was on the…up and up
No catches and no strings.

I don’t need to see you
Just hit me up by phone
Don’t show up here…all Gucci cool
Thinking I’m here all alone.

Leave a cell phone message
Or better yet, a text
Don’t know, what you’re up to
Or what is coming next.

Whatever you are planning
Please just make it quick
Tell me what you want or need
Or what the hell …you did.

You’re all about the drama
Your name up there in lights
Don’t need your phony, sweet talk
Don’t want to start a fight.

Don’t call me or stop over
Send an email or a letter
A simple text… is all I need
That’s probably much better.

HOTLINE BLING. by DRAKE

.

Living with guilt
Living with shame
Feeling unwanted
Though you’re not to blame.

Ignored and abandoned
Embarrassed to tears
Years of remorse
The emergence of fear.

Learning she cheated
And wants a divorce
Taking your friends
Your dog and your horse.

Told that you’re fat
Can’t button your pants
Missing the plane
That’s leaving for France.

Failing a test
With no second chance
Living alone
No love or romance.

Losing your dog
Down at the park
Losing your way
When it’s cold and it’s dark.

Looking your worst
Running into your Ex
When you look a mess
And she looks her best.

Watching the two
While they’re holding hands
Thinking of them
And their wedding plans.

It could be worse
So just hang on tight
Try to be happy
If just for one night.

Sheltering in
Please stay away
Don’t knock on my door
Please no, not today.

No friends stopping over
No parties to plan
No trips to the beach
I’m losing my tan.

Staying inside
I keep to myself
Keeping my distance
Protecting my health.

Lonely at times
Tired of TV
Playing board games
And feeling lonely.

Don’t want to get sick
Don’t want to die
All I can do
Is sit here and cry.

Can’t go to work
They laid me off
Can’t go to the bar
Or even play golf.

Where’s the vaccine?
What are we to do?
How long will it take
A month, maybe two?

Wearing a mask
Even some gloves
Don’t want to take chances
Enough is enough.
