Like a M-F-ing Elephant!!

Don't think for a minute that I have forgotten anything you ever did to me!
I remember every lie you ever told and every promise you never kept.
I remember the letter you wrote me on V-day, only for me to find that receipt 2 days later. I remember you coming home after signing the lease on your new place telling me to just give you a little time and then we could be together again. I remember the mornings when you would come over and things you would do and say. I remember how after I told her about us you told me you came clean...only to find out that was far from true. I remember telling you I was looking for a new place and you telling me not to because there was still hope for us. I remember it all.
Even now, after all these years, I can hear your lies echoing in my head. So, do not tell me your sob story, do not try to play the "poor me" card with me. I know how you operate--how you like to manipulate people into waiting for something you are never going to give them. I hate that you are hurting, I truly do. But, it is time you realize that you bring this hurt to yourself. Every day you make choices that can change your life. It is time to grow up and start making good choices.

Knocking around my brain...

Somebody's Someone...

Get out of bed, start your day
Turn the news on on your way
Hear them talking about another bombing in the square
killed hundreds of the people that were gathered there
you think to yourself your glad that it happened far away

Their just names and places
people without faces
Bad things happening all around the world
To you and me they could be anyone...anywhere
But to somewhere out there... somebody lost their someone

Middle of the day, grab a coffee break
read the paper, try to get away
On the front page is the picture of another woman who has gone missing
Haven't seen her in a week, chances are getting slim
Her husband cries as they point their fingers at him

Their just names and places
people without faces
Bad things happening all around the world
To you and me they could be anyone...anywhere
But to somewhere out there... somebody lost their someone

Five o'clock comes, it's the end of the day
Hit the interstate, it's the quickest way
You never see the truck as it starts to swerve
When the ambulance comes your car is upside down on a curb
The police man looks for some id

Their just names and places
people without faces
Bad things happening all around the world
To you and me they could be anyone...anywhere
But to somewhere out there... somebody lost their someone
Your family just lost their someone.
