DIVORCE

thanx for makin it easy.........


ain't nothin like an ied to get you to grow up/
find out your wife is cheating on you the same day you get blown up/
just put my head back 2g and get my arm sewn up/like so what/
who cares i got broken down and dumped like a foam cup/
i know enough/
to not get into this situation again/you on vacation with my ends/
my reflection only seen in the seperation and at the grave of a friend/
get on a track and lace it with sin/
i wedded with you but cheated with the military/we were gonna begin a family/
accept each other's kin and celebrate annually/
why the fuck did you marry me?/
the scary me/was prepared to be/
your one and only/never leave you lonely/but then on my 2nd deployment you had to go and fuck all my homies/
barslutting with you and your cronies/now a days you don't even know me/
i still send christmas cards and merry wishes/you reply with cemetary kisses/
lil ferry disses/thas the weight you carry mrs./
if you still hate me you're thinking about me/enough of the shouting/you pretty lil loud thing/
i wrote a song about you and i know you hate it when the crowd sing/
you want me to want blonde hair flowin red/but i'm just growing instead/
tryin to forget about another man's clothes and the cigarette holes in the spread/
take a lil sec and listen to what you know in your head/
i'm a pro with this pen/
i never wanted you to cry when it was time for goin to bed/
but sgt john's/ bad relationship with his son's mom/keeps him uncalm/
all the drugs that i'm on/your dignity fell off quicker than your dress after the prom/
i guess that it's on/
file the fuckin paperwork/we'll never make it work/
right on/
sleep with the light on/
and spend your day in the dark/
the way of the heart/the way you just take it  apart/you're a fuckin actress you should be in a play in the park/
i wish i knew you were so fake from the start/everything i say is a dart/
i guess i had the face of a mark/
someone you thought you could just hustle/i don't mean to burst your bubble/
but no longer will i talk and just tustle/i've had enough of the trouble/
i'm comfortable/with not bein lovable/
you gotta get right with you cuz i'm ok with me/
kick down the door/toss you my new cd/tell you "you make it easy"
tell your new bf softly/ he can sit on my couch,fuck my wife and drink my coffee/
try to off me/but he can't be me/
and he's not gonna watch my fucking tv...........

I never know if it's acceptable to submit something I've previously created to one of these competitions. I feel like it's more in the spirit of things to generate a whole new piece, but this one fits here, and I think it's one of my better ones, so here it goes.

Abandoned

When you abandoned me,
and pushed me screaming
from the terraces of your big brown eyes,
I fell through the clouds and hit the ground,
all broken bones and sour luck.
I went and picked myself back up,
snapped the bones back into place,
said my curses, wept my tears,
and trudged off through the fog and gray.
And so, alone, day by day,
I emptied out the picture frames
where you once stood, where we once blamed
our sorrows on the falling rain
instead of one another.
Emptiness, my estranged lover,
is what I've known for all this while,
through sleepless nights, splintered thoughts,
with every frayed and faded smile
that I've stitched on since you've been gone,
since I was left abandoned.

and thank you Hun. Personally I think you run some of the best comps I have seen in here

What could i say?
===================
Her bright blue eyes
glistened with tears
as she realised, correctly
how real her fears
became insane
and apparent in her mind
as she screamed
"did you cheat on me"
for the fourteenth time
i couldn't help but sit
and listen to her wail
As each pelting word she spoke
hit me like pale hail
"Did you? Did you? tell me the truth!
Did you fuck someone else
while i've been with you?"

And what could i do
but look her in the eye
and say that I'm sorry
for all the lies
but i did and
it sucks i know
but its what she said next
that cut me to the bone
"I thought you were better
than that, when you met me,
you said you would never
break this, what became
your family,
and you cursed
such treachery on my behalf,
but now, for me, the decision
makes me laugh
because I'm torn ultimately
between killing you
or destroying
your
property

"Lying Thief"
http://rookery.s3.amazonaws.com/1091500/1091888_bd64_625x1000.jpg
You called me
a liar and a thief,
then you left me.
Are you any different?
You told me
you loved me,
stole my heart.
I thought we could
work this out.
I guess I was wrong,
you lying thief.

D.I.V.O.R.C.E.


Dire emotional deliverance is dealt
Impacting on many within the home
Vying for control as the battle begins
Ominous outcomes are inevitable
Ripping apart the seams that held it all
Calamitous consequences rain down
Ending the union of what was once love

Endless cries that split the night
You my loved,truly the only one
I bent at one knee and fell to both
Your life Your happiness all I had hoped
Gone gouged Gal-angal
I see the shadows
I know the smells
Hearing the echoes
Scraping the walls
Clothes,trinkits,pictures in the hall
Dreams for me
They did come true
But that was me obviously not You
The tear in my hand
Carried for life
Salt in the wound
Is the still in the night
I can't hate You
I despise what You did
Stranded on my island
Waiting for rescue
The wandering lost kid
Its nice Your still smiling
I have those here and there
from You know...
The ones whom still love me
Show me their care
The warm soft glow
that used to be
That light I now constantly repair
Thru thick n thin
This motto You sin
E is for effort
If we did it two- gether
but single solitary silences solace
For the man who's heart was stolen
It was given back you see
Pinned right here upon his sleeve
Magi of the mind
Tear out this time
Bury it deep
No no no
Disturbed sleep
Life long dreams
My best friend it seems
I didn't know it was a mask
All I knew to ask
was how to make You happy
The answer to that...very sadly
was only money
So here I am Honey
The house the dog
The still the chills
Ill be here same as before
Working my ass off payiing the bills
Body beaten raggedy and sore

The lonly hearts club band
Gathered here from across lands
Did you EVER think like me
Days like this you'd have to see
your happiest days
All but turned gray
We have but been cast out
Banished or brought about
To this terrible sea
All of us you n me
Writing our bleeding hearts
Crying repair
Hopefully our quill starts
Quieting despair
We the bruised and broken
Have got to keep hope in
That our lights wont dim
But dazzle the worthy
Shake rattle and roll She or Him
Island of misfit toys
We know we can bring joy
Just wait for the chance
Of that Beautiful glance
That walks you arm n arm
Displaying your charm
To show off your color
There will be another
This I do believe
Nature of the beast
To live and to love
The hearts treasure trove
Survival of it
And AGAIN we'll commit
This is to be recourse
to the suffering of divorce
