Cheater

perfume, maybe earrings, no not high heels;
but honesty clarity and a heart that feels

shaved, plucked, its silky smooth
tidy? more tidy! i need to clean that roof!

cause he's coming, he's late! should i call again?
"baby sorry, i can't"; "baby she's just a friend"

forgive, forget, a circle that never ends
a wall, a thick wall, "can we just be friends?"

a song, so sing along, let's play pretend
an ache, a break, another decade to spend

a change, a little wind, some air to breathe
he's smiling, he's living, his mind is clear

too fast, too soon, so sudden
too curious, so bad, still stubborn?

one girl, then two girls, he turned out to be a dick
one girl, too scared, so angry and sick

back flips, sparkles, that turn to hits
promises, roses, memories shredded to bits

lies and lies and liars
cheaters, drug dealers, and fire fighters

reboot, adjust, fade away
take a sip, light it up, its a new day.
