The Picturesque

The demented writes in verse 
And there are lines you cannot rehearse
As you nod when the lights go down and then back up
And he hits the diff when I call it love
And there arms that try to drown my spirit
In a cacophony of “did you hear it?”
And its almost like if I ignore the plod
I’m giving in to their broken rod
Trying to shatter a dream
And undermine the queen
That sits on the throne of my home
He comes to me when he’s all alone
As if I could absolve his sins
When I’m murdered by his whims
As they just converge the mass
And leave me to be the last
Past the post of what I would not do
But for the lie caught in the throat that you
Spread like a disease
And I know the other plants a seed
Somewhere the grass will grow
And the best I can do is just not know
Just click send on the letter
And concede life knows me better
Than to forward your replies
And something in me dies
Everytime I hear your name
I should just admit that its a shame
That I got played
By the tackle that I delayed
For the sake of the line back
Who could not withstand the attack
That I would mount on her stunt
I know that you can be blunt
But forgive me my honesty to say
You’re a blow in and I’d like to keep it that way
