A Lonely Man.
 
She said "You'll die,
a lonely man;
bitter, sad
and insecure."
She said,
"You were not
the only man to
ever come
to her for all
the answers."
You took your
chances;
and now, you refuse ~
to listen to the truth...
 
and now, all you
ever wanted -
is slipping
from your grip;
Lost, looking for
your love -
and you don't know,
what she's done -

with it...
Hypochondriatic;
hypocrite -
She's run -
She's run away,
with it.
 
She escaped your
loving leers;
just long enough to
dry her tears and
feel the heat,
of the day ~
to hear happy
voices of
children at play -
for a moment today -
she was free.
The wind touched her skin;
fresh air, lifted her hair -
suddenly, she was
aware;
Instead of living it up;
she was giving up;
on her life.
 
Lonely, bitter -
and insecure...
intertwined -
you and I;
Tell me how
to forget -
What she said;
how I wept -
to learn
that she slept
in our bed. -
I know you lied,  
and you tried,  
to mess with
my head!  
Have you forgotten;
how rotten,
you can be?
Hitting bottom
then climbing - 
on top of me; 
continuously
hurting me,
you know that
you're murdering
me inside -
and I'm desperate
to survive...
this lonliness. 
 
Are you pretending
to be pleasent -
to keep me from
leaving -
Sometimes I think
you would like to
keep me
from breathing -
but then, you know;
you'd be just another
lonely man...
Do you think
you can continue
to control; and
to degrade and
decieve?
Well, I don't
think so Buddy,
and neither does she.
