Another Fatal Stabbing
(A simple reminder
about playing with the human heart)
Did they really love
together?
Or were they useful
toys?
To every pretty girl,
And to every foolish
boy,
Another stabbing has
occurred,
Another love is dead.
Hearts are broken on
the floor.
Hearing what was
said.
A life is over; a
life is new,
A life is once again
the same.
A lover is leaving
another.
Going back to older
games.
Although the trust
was there to start,
Old lovers are
supposed to part.
All the dreams they
ever had.
Are put in the
defective cart.
And there she goes,
once again.
To try to make a
play,
And he runs off with
a broken heart,
A colt 45, and a
bang,
Suicide you might
have thought.
Maybe so but I don’t
think.
It was another fatal
stab in the back.
You must have missed
when you had blinked.
