My Dismissal

I see your smile enamored with mine

Are you starstruck, in awe, blind?

So you should be;

Love is this white gold ring

Engraved, endowed with our wealth

Our love, our lust, our power, all ours,

Not you, but her, not you, but us.

Are you jealous? Are you mad?

Do I care? Do I trust?

In my ability to hurt you,

To force the nail through

Yes, I got you here to leave you,

I got you here to dismiss you.

I love her, not you, I love us.

Did you really think you could

All this, you expected to keep?

Sure I enjoyed you,

Sure You entertained me,

My boredom and your infactuation

Both fulfilled in my leading you on

Now, i lead you out, get out

You can't place blame on me

I didn't promise you anything,

I was perhaps confused, probably not

Im being honest, Im being real,

Isn't that what all women want?

My truth liberates me from responsibilty

To you, but not to her

While you whine and moan and stalk and talk

I beg and plead with her to forgive me

She will, she always does,

She's a fool that I manipulate and love

I'll hurt her again, it's in my blood

With another girl as desperate as you

I'll tell her she's the one too.
