The Move

**Partners turned enemies turned frenemies turned long lost soul mates who never were meant to be-

You never know what you got until it finally walks out the door. And thank god for that ******* door-

If I hadn’t of walked the tightrope so clumsily maybe my peanut butter fingers would have, should have, could have grabbed a little bit better omit the fumbling…but I just kept stumbling-

I honestly thought I was going to die here in this trailer, this **** double wide modular hell of mine,

We stick ourselves in mud sometimes, Mud so thick it creates specific life lines. You can actually see your personal timeline-

That timeline has been looking like the color of **** Well **** me sideways ain’t life a ******* *****

****** ***** low down piece of **** skunt. Skinned knees ***** breeze I felt this old home giving me a breathless squeeze-

It squeezed me so hard I hit reality, reached up and snatched actuality with a left hook of formality equalling life’s gain of destined brutality-

I moved mountains harder than I’ve ever ****** any man. It was one swift move of ballsy rhetoric but I had to sell my soul for a compromise and a date just to get my hands on the blue prints for the master plan-

You see everyone is someone else’s ****** I’m on a chain, a noose, a shock collar and this filthy serenade is for the shot caller-

Someday I’ll cut those chains but most likely by the time I’m equipped I’ll have lost those better days-

You learn to live on less by biding time, by sweeping by, just keeping your heart above water and your head leaking dry. I remember my partner turned enemy, turned frenemy, that long lost soul mate who just was never meant to be….**
