The Grim Little Toast

I used to think that taking love was for free

So I sat in my chair looking out over the sea

I was so unprepared when it called out to me

The love that we had was never meant to be,

You stood in the doorway one wet night

Came into the house without even a fight

Took what was mine with unhindered delight

Then the two of you disappeared from sight,

The moon shimmers now in the absence of the sun

Can’t remember the last time I wasn’t on the run

She’s absent and free isn’t that so much fun?

And you sincerely asked me why I seemed so undone,

The world has taken on such a new dimension

Sadly, it has nothing to do with evil prevention

Fear echoes here but there’s no ascension

I foresee assassination at the next convention,

Now that you’re older you seem like a ghost

Was it what you did to others that hurt you the most?

Let me get a couple glasses for a grim little toast

I’m serving truth on a platter stick around for the roast,

My heart feels so empty of solace or joy

My emotions manipulated like a child’s toy

Bullets fly that miss the decoy

Just one more False Flag for them to deploy,

Just a little more pain in your life to endure

Allowing love in you’re not so sure

The shape of your body a sensual contour

Memories of love become fewer and fewer.
