How Could You?


You said that you don't want
to see me anymore...
and that we have nothing to
talk about...
You told me never to darken
your door..
you told me to just get out..
but why didn't you tell me
about the guy you loved before?/

oh, he comes to you
with a silver tongue
and lies you know to be untrue..
but you're just happy he's even spending
a moment of his precious time with you..
I don't usually hate on other guys from the
side...
but I can't stand to see a guy like him beat my
time.../

Oh and How could you...
go and lay with him?
after all he put you through?
Oh How could you...
entertain the thought of giving
some play to him?
Can't you see he's just using you?/

You say that you don't want to hear
anything I have to say..
but let me tell right now..
that every dog is going to have it's day...
All the other girls in town are laughing
at you behind your back...
They say he's got a wife and kids and yet
another girlfriend on the side..
Now what do you think about that?/

Oh he comes to you
with a line you need to hear...
He tells you that he loves you and you only...
but pretty girl, that's a lie..
told to keep you near...
I really don't care much that you and I are through...
I think I deserve to be with a woman a little bit smarter
than you.../

Oh but How could you
allow him to play with you?
after all I tried to say to you....
How could you?
go and lay with him..
when deep down inside
you know that that is all he wanted to do?
Now can you,
except the fact that the whole town is laughing
at you?/

I know this was auto-biographical...it's written with too much edge not to be.

Not the type of poem that would make me throw my panties up in the air..but one that touches a nerve just the same.
