The only certainties in life are death and taxes...if only they came in that order!
Mark Twain


You said you'd be there

And i, stupid fool

beleived every

rotten word

 

i hoped that you would

have just once

told the truth

 

I waited

 

the streets were dark

i kept time with a song

and a hope

of the life you had promised me

 

nothing

 

had you forgotten?

were you hurt? Did you need help?

 

Oh God, what if you were lying somewhere

with a blade in your ribs

 

calling out to me

one last time

 

were you scared?

afraid i might bite

like you say i do

 

Were you drunk?

high one some alien love

that controlled you;

but not your fault

 

or...

 

maybe you didn't care

 

maybe the lies I had beleived for so long

fed you like blood to a vampire

so you could creep away

and hunt another victim

 

maybe I never meant

anything at all

 

maybe I had bored you;

the bright luster of my appearance

had dulled and weakened

 

maybe you liked me this way

alone

on my knees

at your mercy

begging you not to take the final swing

 

maybe I'm right were you want me

maybe you're watcing me right now

smiling at my pain

 

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

What do you want?

 

how can you possibly bring me lower?

How can you tell me you are still

as right as in the beginning

 

I hope

you rot

in hell

or wherever you belong

 

but in the end

as dawn breaks

all I can feel

 

is numb...

 

the streets are empty as I return alone

Sorry about that, but I write most things directly in the little word box and never cut and paste, so it doesn't spell check...

I like it, however you have a few typos, which were a bit distracting. I could feel a lot of angst.... but the typos were a bit distracting :D
