A Lover\u2019s Revenge<\/p>\n
I am having a lousy night.
\nYou are nowhere in sight.
\nThese thoughts can make me mean.
\nI just might end up making a scene.<\/p>\n
Lovers have come and lovers have gone.
\nSome left me crying, others, a song.
\nBut, you were a knife in the back.
\nSmooth lies have left me a mat.<\/p>\n
Something for you to wipe your feet on.
\nYou knew just when to come on strong.
\nThen turn it off without a hint.
\nA betting man could make a mint.<\/p>\n
Bet on you to triumph and me to lose.
\nI made front page, broken heart, news.
\nQuietly,—– I plot my revenge.
\nIt won\u2019t be pleasant in the end.<\/p>\n
Ya can\u2019t please everyone, so please yourself.
\nWhen I\u2019m done, you\u2019ll know how I felt.
\nIt won\u2019t be bloody and it won\u2019t be nice.
\nBut, it will be something to make you think twice.<\/p>\n
You will hopefully change your ways.
\nI know for sure, you\u2019ll have seen better days.
\nWhen I am threw with you,
\nyou will be better off in a zoo.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll look like a monkey and smell like one too.
\nYou\u2019ll be wondering what happened to you?
\nIt will come as such a surprise,
\nThere won\u2019t even be time for tears in your eyes.<\/p>\n
My night may feel like hell now.
\nBut, yours will be worse somehow.
\nYou will be a mere shadow of your former self.
\nYou may even put yourself up on a shelf.<\/p>\n
