SLUG

I COULD FEEL YOU PUSH ME AWAY

AS SURE AS NIGHT WOULD FOLLOW DAY

THE SILENT LANGUAGE IN YOUR EYES

THAT SWEET CONTEMPT YOU COULD NOT DISGUISE

MY HEART WAS CRYING AS I FORCED A SMILE

AND SAID I’D SEE YOU IN A WHILE

TEARS LIKE RAINDROPS BEHIND THE CLOUDS

WAITING TO BURST, BUT STILL TOO PROUD.

TOO PROUD TO ADMIT HOW WRONG I, D BEEN

TO HAVE PUT MY TRUST IN ONE SO OBSENE

TO HAVE TRIED TO SEE THE GOOD INSIDE

OF ANOTHER BEING WHO WAS SO SNIDE.

I TRIED AND TRIED TO BREAK THE ICE

TO FIND REDEMPTION IN YOUR VICE

YOU SEEMED TO LIKE ME, TO HAVE RESPECT

YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS DID REFLECT

AN INNER KINDNESS OF A WOUNDED SOUL

OF ONE WHO COULD NOT BE SO COLD

BUT NOW I LIVE TO KNOW DEEP DOWN

THAT I COULD NEVER CHANGE THAT FROWN

A HUNDRED SMILERS WILL COME YOUR WAY

BUT NONE CAN STOP YOUR DEEP DECAY

IM SORRY THAT IT TOOK ME THIS TIME

TO UNDERSTAND YOUR PATH OF SLIME

A MAN WHO LIVES INSIDE A SHELL

WHERE NOTHING GROWS AND SECRETS DWELL

BUT LIKE A SNAIL, TO A WALL YOU CLING

AND I WAS JUST ANOTHER FLING……………………………………………………
