Newspaper reads, “Ex Player Gets Played.”
Witnesses are women, friends, and kids but no one chooses to speak.
A 5-0 record that now settles defeat.
Beat in the last round.
A relationship that goes up finally comes down.
The victim ignored the warnings and signs.
“Warning, warning, life does not rewind.”
I’ve hit the reset button several times.
And nothing happens…
I hear announcers and fans laughing and clapping.
Saying, “Didn’t I tell you to think?”
Jumping ship and moving too quickly, when I should’ve went down with a ship that sinks.
I blink to stop the tears.
I treated months like years.
My life became sincere words of love.
Shoves became hugs and it changed for the better.
All that mattered was for us to be together.
We made promises for forever, so who was telling the lies.
I trusted in love and was hit by a slug to lie here alone and just die.
