DARKEN MEMORIES

I SEEN IT MORE THAN ONCE

I have seen those that walk around

with hard apologies of the town

beaten the good ones down

while they look like clowns.

They never mean a thing

they just go around calling people names

making them feel ashame

while they push the game of blame.

They always have words of lies

making excuse for the why's

for abusing their wives...

pushing deeper the knives

deeper into their hearts.

As they go around saying words

to tickle the ears

to all those who want to hear

I love you

I need you

then they hurt you.

I told myself to never give them heart

they will only use

and abuse

I've seen it more than once

and that is no doubt

so I left town.
