Testing 1 2 3...
by Carmen Battle
What part of pain do you not understand, must I open my veins, let blood drip down my hand,
Did you not see the look on my face on that day, Can you ever recall my face looking that way
Had there not been a wall, I'd have dropped to my knees, and the thud would be felt like the forest's falling trees
You have taken my heart and defiled what was true, But this isn't the 1st time, that I've been betrayed by you
In your sociopathic manner you did not even blink, but my pain is now anger, as I've had time to think
Take the love that I gave you, cause I don't want it back, it's a Bon Voyage present, cause my soul is now black
You have pierced through my trust, but I gave you the knife, now I'm taking it back, there will be no more strife
I handed you the power that gave you that buzz, but I'm taking it back, reclaiming the woman that I was
Though my Boricua nature has a nurturing streak, I have greased up my soul, so you can never reach it's peak
My home and my body once open to you, are now closed for repairs, and your sorry ass won't do
So keep all the good memories, as you'll need them later on, and when you come back crawling, my spirit will be long gone
I've become rather attached to my spirit and will, If I let you back in, these 2 asset's you'll kill
And I just cannot have that, so please heed my warning, my ignorance has past, I see the light of a new morning
Take what you can and consider yourself blessed,
I was grading on a curve and your love has failed the test
