at one time

by antwan fields - Aries

you stare across the courtroom at me
anger chiseled on your face 
we're here because
i didn't give you your space

im sick and tired of of seeing 
this dog-and-pony show
as you counter with the 
bullshit that you throw

we're gonna win, my attorney says in excitement
but i don't care
cause whats on my mind
is just not fair

i spent all of last night watching
the video that we made
the video that made me look like the
marquis de sade

watching the screen
this is hurting me, true
but this is hurting more
for you

i wept last night
giving up on us
there was no chance
once there was no trust

today i give the impression that
im allright 
but in all honesty
even breathing is a fight

at one time 
i thought that we would never end
on my e-mail
i pushed send

the judge makes us stand up
he'd thought this over
his name plate says 
jugde william t. dover

well, i've reached a verdict
said the judge
i consider both of you 
pieces of sludge

i look at you
carefully, trying to see
if you still have any feelings
for me

Reason for writing:

    breakups that end in a courtroom
