21ST CENTURY BETRAYAL
Bloodshed tears engulfed my heart
No happy-ever-after gift card
Bubble gum surgery can’t help me now
I sat on the wings of a black crow
You spoke to a ghost voice
I slipped on a banana-skin choice
We made love in Montego Bay
My bypass-grafting heart was served on a
skin-graft tray
Your phantom-number sailed through my
cyclone-fingers
Your raptor’s aura lingers
Spider webs entangled my mind
Your love-assassins were assigned
I swam through rivers of denial
I was the judge on your cheater’s trial
You were found guilty of a 21st century betrayal
My fiery–justice has prevailed
Too long did I wander in my winters-gown
No more would I be your clown
I won’t succumb to you anymore
I walked through a new future-door
