Staring at the empty kitchen Where you used to stand; laughing The last day that I saw you Packing all your things
Karma's a *****, they say Running around leaving regrets in her wake As of today; a story told Of a man who lost his armour Lying dead on the marble floor -- cold
If the time is gold, like momma used to tell I'll exchange them with all the dollars I have For a man's heart to be broken and splintered Because of a lady in a rusty armour Was a feat to be lored upon; a fairy tale, perhaps
Tell her That I'm here back where we used to be With a bowl of cold soup And untied shoes; on my knees Begging for a place to be back to Inside that armour that she broke into two
