HIGH AND DRY

Too damn hot
She’s got it all
You’re too close
You’re gonna fall.

Back it up
Down a notch
Won’t be long
Set your watch.

She’s got skills
Like no one else
Before she’s done
You’ll beg for help.

High and dry
Is where you’ll be
She won’t care
She’ll watch you bleed.

Wipes her hands
When she’s done
No second thoughts
She’ll hit….then run.

A WASTE OF TIME

Wanting you
A waste of time
Should’a known
You’d change your mind.

All the while
Out for yourself
Telling me that
I need help.

Jealousy
Out right suspicion
Wasted words
You never listened.

Late night calls
Deleted texts
What was coming?
What was next?

Picking fights
No reasons left
Casting blame
I can’t forget.

All the lies
The hate and scorn
Left feeling lost
Battered and torn.

UNFAITHFUL

I’ll never forget
The look in your eyes
The day that you left
When you said, Goodbye.

The passion, the lust
All the demands
Lying beside you
Holding your hand.

Roses and wine
Sex until dawn
Candlelight dinners
When did it go wrong?

All the excuses
Getting home late
Leaving me wondering
Making me wait. 

The cheating, no doubt
A game you would play
A means of deceiving
Of getting your way.

Never enough
To satisfy you
Too hard to be faithful
Honest and true.

Time and again
How many before
Have watched you walk out
Walk right out the door?

YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME

Stop trying to give me orders
Trying to tell me what to do
You’re not my boss or parent
I’m not listening to you.

So tired of feeling pressured
Tired of feeling I’m to blame
Tired of all your accusations
Tired of feeling so ashamed.

Get off my case, step aside
I’m not asking you for help
Don’t need your constant badgering
I can take care of myself.

Time and again, I wonder
How you got on that high horse
I’m tired of being bullied
I’m tired of being forced.

I won’t comply, it’s over now
I’m doing things my way
I’m standing up for myself
Doesn’t matter what you say.

THE ANGER, THE RAGE

Defensive, on guard
The walls and the shield
The fear and  the rage
The anger you feel.

Feeling unsure
Afraid and alone
Blaming, projecting
The pain all your own.

Unable to listen
Too angry to hear
Pointing a finger
To make your point clear.

Too soon to pass judgement
Too quick to decide
You’re  closing your mind
Believing the lies.

Conspiracy theories
Play on the weak
So easily molded
The small and the meek.

BEWARE

A pirate, a chiseler
Street vendor at heart
A wheeler, a dealer
Conniving and smart.

Always an angle
A quick sleight of hand
Always a motive
A trick and a scam.

Not to be trusted
With secrets or gold
A charmer whose snake oil
Is easily sold.

Beware and forewarned
He knows what to do
He’ll take what he wants
And leave nothing for you.

TAINTED

Just a fool to be played
That’s what you said
You laughed at me
As you got out of bed.

My head on the pillow
So torn up inside
You continued to laugh
As I laid there and cried.

Get me some coffee
You said to me
I got up bare naked
Obediently.

I poured your coffee
Added a spoon
Tainted with poison
You’d be feeling it soon.

Once doubled over
You fell to the floor
It was my turn to laugh
To even the score.

I waited awhile
Got back into bed
Had to be sure
You were gone, you were dead.

The sun coming up
Had brightened my day
The best part of all
When they took you away.

They covered your face
With a white cotton sheet
Zipped up the bag
Carried you to the street.

Bye bye, Bon Voyage
Good riddens, good grief
So glad you are gone
You bastard, you creep.

SO HOT

Spellbound, elated
Head over heels
This can’t be happening
This can’t be real.

High as a kite
No whiskey or drugs
One look at her
That was enough.

Heart beating fast
Cold sweaty  palms
Feeling so good
What could go wrong?

Out of control
Out of my mind
She is so hot
She is so  fine.

Meeting for coffee
A quiet cafe
Gotta be cool
Meeting today.

Just can’t imagine
The  two of us
Being together
Got such a crush.

Out of Control;
Out of my mind
She is so hot
Gotta be mine.

LATE NIGHTS. (A Song)

Late nights together
Lying in bed
A bottle of wine
The things that you said.

Nights filled with passion
Straight from the heart
Now I’m forgotten
I’ve been left in the dark.

Promises made
To do no harm
The tattoo for you
I got on my arm.

All the demands
That you made on me
No second chances
No show of mercy.

No explanation
No alibi
Feeling confused
I sat there and cried.

You said it was over
You don’t feel the same
I asked you about her
Tell me her name.

“It doesn’t matter
I don’t love you”
You sounded so cold
What could Ido?

You left in the morning
Without saying goodbye
I spent the day crying
It was all a lie.

Those late nights together
Lying in bed
Holding you close
I can’t  forget.

PLAYERS

Show me the money
At any cost
I’ll put up the bounty
I won’t take a loss.

The market incentive
To make the next trade
No need for a life vest
No need to be saved.

Always ahead
Proceed without shame
Plotting and planning
The name of the game.

I’ll  take the credit
Untold admiration
Fuel for the fire
No false expectations.

So easy to do
A quick slight of hand
No one is the wiser
They’ll follow the plan.

A robber, a thief
A wolf in sheep’s clothes
No one will question
No one even knows.

It’s money that matters
All things can be bought
Players will win
And never get caught.
