Symphony of Betrayal

I met someone who emitted vibrations

cool, smooth talking, fusion of song

themes of betrayal striking, ignored

warning, warning, peal from this man

but it’s too late for I’ve surrendered my tune

he rapped it in pieces, jigsaw puzzle of lyrics

can’t put harmony back together again

missing refrain which he’s holding aside

thinking he might want to play me again

warning, warning, peal from this man

he performs the melody I want to hear

in the fringe of my brain, I sing the truth

but I’m not listening to words riding by

lying awake wondering where his body roars

ignoring reasoning pounding in awareness

drumming rat a tat–listen to what you know

can’t you eavesdrop on your mind which echoes

warning, warning, peal from this man

cushioning my love in squeaky bubble wrap

when he tosses it away, it shrills back to me

he’s a part-time lover who hearkens to others

warning, warning, peal from this man

chorus engulfs my mind but heart chimes on

no matter the resonance, I can’t heed the tidings

great sorrow and angst which are just marking time.
