Crossed Lines

I just wish you sent emissaries of truth, Because my mind would be at peace with me, I would have a nary a qualm, And all these glasses would not be broken, And all these tears would not be shed, And now these words will never be taken, And this day will never be forgotten! I wish I got caught up a little at work today, Because then you and your hoe would have finished business, And i would be met by the smell of a fresh shower, And the sound of sheets doing turns in the cleaner, And the sight of sugar coated lies! I wish I passed by _Kill me kwik_, To kiss the bottle with the boys, Watching the waitress sway her non-existent hips, As we rant of all the greatnes around Of the wonders of the green mamba on riparian Than me coming here... To witness your sacrilege on our matrimonial bed... And me calling out to my gone ancestors. Today I wished to be swept off by the floods But it's a sunny dry month Today I wished to have been hit by a bus And got dragged down it's wheels along the tarmac But again it's a sleepy village here Nothing that we wish for ever happens Yet here I am... Having to hear the pleasure moans you have him... Those I always beg for each time I visit your downtown! Now I'm wishing for more... I wish for the rumble of an earthquake For the earth to open up and swallow me whole For a cactus plantation to grow upon my unmarked grave At least with that... The pieces of my shattered heart shall find peace Than watching the wind blow these pieces away The pieces you managed to make of my heart. Joy
