boxcar ...blues

 

…No

Peaches

...and Cream

Getting

screwed

No longer

in the mood...

 

 

Boxcar blues…

 

 

Like one slap …in the face one, after another, after another

All the phony smiles… The countless ways, you show contempt

…the emotions betrayed…

Left with only memories of words of love you never meant

Sick and tired of you always staying out late

But when it comes to me… nothing works it seems

Months at a time, you give me only icy silent glares

Never in the mood for play, you only pout and brood

Of the endless battles with nothing in it for anyone but you

Feel just like a fool …getting played, getting ripped off
left torn and bloodied …in the background

You’ve misspent the wealth and left only ruins

With nothing left to save …of the memories of happier days

With no part to fill in your life, but to pay your cheating bills
just an insignificant other, A used to be lover
this has been one lonely taxi ride to nowhere

After …a long line of frustrations

Sentences with no punctuation
…machine gunned by what has become
a steady stream of rude awakenings,
finally, surrendering

The gloves come off I refuse to cry anymore, for you

Love has died here… There’s no reason Left to pretend

I can’t be "bought off" we seem not even to be friends
after all the pain and suffering all the false hopes
blank checks and "commitments" that were never kept
No attempt To mend the hurts, Tend the wounds

…To try to make it better you don’t even bother
those misspent years, the flood of tears

You’ve left me only Loneliness, in echoes of love

Lost in time so vast …they have become fossilized

Where all that’s left are scattered bones

Gleaned of every trace of marrow

And the lost hopes

…had been starved to death

When I’d finally come to realize

When I mistook you for an eagle…

Thought that we could soar together

Only to find you act more

like a sparrow

And all those

grandiose ideas

you planted…

Just thin disguises

for all those

bargain basement

lies
