Friday night, she talks on the phone,
Getting yelled by a man she loved before
She washes the dishes and mops the floor
Getting yelled by a man she loves no more
Friday night and I’m walking around at home
From my bedroom to the bathroom
From the kitchen to the balcony
My dog pacing behind me confused
She tells me “don’t listen” and I don’t know what to do so I put my headphones on
The music’s so loud but I still feel his voice cutting through my skin slower and deeper with every word he speaks
I hate it here
Friday night and he’s home alone
Another tin in the trash
Another one in his hand
The same, old broken heart
She knows he’ll call her again tomorrow and say he’s sorry
But now she don’t believe him like she used to do
He said he’ll change but he did not
she tried to help but he don’t want to stop
Eleven years, eleven million tears
You want to punish her but you punish me instead
I lay down in my bed once again pensive and contemplating as you'd haunt my future and my past as you said some thing i won’t be able to unrecall
But I still can’t hate you, no I can not
About the Creator
Helen
I write what I feel, and I feel what I write
“All’s fair in love and poetry”
