Our relationship was over, I
had done the worst Never deserved her love and
in regular outburst Erupted with impatience at
the slightest mishap Kept her in line and on one
day, gave her a slap I treated her unkindly and
each time I’d apologize She forgave dutifully but I
saw fear in her eyes Such an empowerment I
thought, to have her say God’s grace my love, have a
wonderful day! Only I would cheat, my days
were with the boys Obsessing with drugs and
paying for girl toys Did all this yet she’d kiss
me and wish me God’s grace But I was cold with her kiss
and shun her embrace Yesterday I wouldn’t hug her,
now today - I can’t, ‘though I try Eve bent over and gave my
cold, lifeless body, One Kiss Goodbye |
