One Less Mess

by A.N.M. - Pisces

You would build me up
To let me down...
Splatter my heart
Right on the ground...

You'd pick me up
And wipe my face
Then shatter my brains
Oh what a waste!

Of precious time...
Of energy!...
To let you make
A mess of me!

Could have spent a dime
On something better than you!
Cause making a mess
Is what you do!

But I was so young...
Got so used to it
That it seemed like my fate
I was "glued" to it...

Mistaking the passion
The chemistry...
For "love"...I was much 
To blind to see.

"Wasted the pretty"
So many "good" years
Letting you fill me
With sadness and tears.

Now that I know better
And know "real" love is mine
I'm sometimes still haunted
By your memory---but fine...

For karma most surely
Has found you somehow
And the trail of "YOUR" mess...
It's yours to clean now!!




 

Reason for writing:

    Just an old relationship I had...some hit pretty hard.
