I'm left with
Violent stares
Awkward smiles
Perpetuated care
I'm left with
Everything is temporary
It'll go away someday
There's no need for matrimony
But
What if I liked looking into his eyes
What if his eyes were lit with laughter
Word to Dorothy Parker
What if I wanted some love
Some real deal, your heart will heal
It's mine to steal
Love
But
No,
Things happen
Lies are mapped and
The person you once knew, grows up
They don't perpetually love you
They put anything in the world above you
Cause' they're tired
Of everything is temporary
And broken promises
Prominent dominance
Your love is incompetent
And it's so sad to see
That the tables turn
But
What they really don't know
Is
The tables turned on me
I'm the one trapped In a country that was set free
I'm the one temporarily
Scaredly
Maintaining the
Thought of crazily
Living
Without you, love
Something that taught me
Brought me
Took my soul and locked me
Told me everyone is sorry
People can be cocky
Moms are always lofty
So
That's it
Things change
Friends reaggrange
It won't matter yesterday
Today is just a replay
That's what they told me
Everything is temporary
It'll go away someday
There's no need for matrimony
But tables turn
Bridges burn
And I'm always the one left to judge
Sun and Mars
Life behind bars
It's up to you
It all goes on
With a song
Will you be the hook
They said
Deja Vu
It's up to you
To change your ******* end
Perpetuate that smile
Violently walk
Triumphantly step while
Making conversation worth while
But
They forgot to mention
Some veterans don't get a pension
Sometimes it's hard to listen to lectures
When your whole life is hard as dentures
And your only love is within pictures
Burned
Loved and mourned
Between the stars and moon
You shine brighter
The bridges burned
The tables turned
On you
It's your life
There's a knife
There's some strife
There's Christ
What're you gonna do
..
Dorothy Parker
There's a reason why the title is called Dorothy Parker opposed to Sylvia Plath or Emily Dickinson, really read the words and you'll discover deeper meaning.
