The sun rose in her eyes and set in her navel
Unable to adjust to the equation
Contemplation a fragile process of
How best to serve her needs
Cutting her weeds to see her garden grow
Didn’t you know the oak was poison
Oh ... you couldn’t see the forest for the trees
Please remind me again of the state
You were in when I arrived in your household
Your domain, your castle where with mop and broom
I scoured each room to remove her taint
Now ain’t it a shame you blame me
For she and we can not move
Forward on a groove
Cause you to busy looking back
At the misery so sweet
Pain so incomplete you thought
That was love?
My biggest mistake, I hate to admit
Was taking your shit and worshiping
The ground you walked on
That was wrong and foolish
Wish I could take it back
Stopped in my tracks confused
You used smoke and mirrors
To frighten me, to seduce me, to distract me
Attack me with my own excellence
Hence I no longer offer you my heart
Your art of war was to fashion weapons
Stolen from the bastions of my own armory
To strike me down in order
To gain ground in a battle waged against self
When wealth was at hand you began
To demand a return to poverty
So this may be the last time you and I talk
Got to walk over glass
Mourning the loss
Lay down the cross
Of unrequited love
Above all else
I must save myself
From drowning in your fears
