You Can’t Deny

You ran like a thief in the night

Certain you'd find your salvation

Forgiveness sold in 20 oz bottles

A 30 pack equals liberation

You walked out on me & our life

Without one bit of consideration

Except for yourself & your selfish need

To feed your self-gratification

Tell me how that's working for you

Give an honest evaluation

The life of the party on social media

And everyday is a celebration

But I see the lie in your smile

Empty eyes full of desperation

You won't admit, even to yourself

This life hasn't met expectations

Do you feel guilty about leaving me

Hopeless, overcome by devastation

Guilt because you've let people down

So you ignore the implications

You'll save face as long as you can

Prolonging the potential humiliation

So another margarita, 2 more beers

Keep up your continuous intoxication

I know what you're doing, I do it too

Seeking that numbness - dissociation

Pretending that you're happier now

And that life is great after the relocation
