Where did you go?

where did you go?

I thought you said you'd always be there

I guess "there" was unspecified

you forgot to add "at my convenience"

 

so where did you go?

did you find another person to mislead?

to lure into your trap?

 

I'm sure whoever it is fell for it -

you're a sugarcoated bomb with a cherry on top.

 

you're real pleasing to the mind but you fall a bit short when it comes to the heart

you sure as hell exploded in mine

 

thanks for that, by the way

thanks for watching your work be done

and strolling away, knowing I wouldn't say anything

away to set off your next grenade

 

hopefully they aren't fools

hopefully they've already set up a wall around their hearts

and their minds

because my red stained picket fence just wasn't enough
