Business as usual
Playing the game
Told you the lesson
Would help with the gain
Borrowed a penny
You wanted moor
Gave away one thing
Headed for door
Plenty at stake for this
Copper was dime
Saw you would party
Blew in the rhyme
Trial was starting
Unraveling this
Made for the movies
Threw out a kiss
Sharpening knives
The order was clear
Your help brought round
A vehicle in gear
Fabled comments you gave
Which gave me the drive
I couldn’t help hear
It was held live
Bottom line given
About what you said
The story was written
By going to bed
Feeling it’s true
Belief that you gave
Swallowing myth
Moral to save
Before you will listen
You have to be mine
Suicide mission
Carried the time
Bring me along
Because you will see
My fortune was kissing
My bride to be
Telling a story
Promising me
Nothing
But riches
Made out to be
Story book ending
Had something to push
A bird in hand
Was worth two in the bush
The garden it seemed
Had plenty of roses
Made for a queen
Tempting neurosis
Bringing a trowel
For saving a rose
Dug in the dirt
Sticking her nose
Right into prick
Which hadn’t been seen
Hiding behind
All of that green
Someone had told her
There wasn’t a thorn
But she wasn’t looking
For one had been bourne
She brought it inside
Along with the plant
Put in the green house
Remarking it’s damp
She made out a note
For helping me
Told me what’s wrong
Gave me the key
Said I was easy
For pushing around
Plan for the other
Rose that I found
Out in the garden
I found it alone
Scenting message
To bee
Which was drone
Calling to heir
About this whole scene
Talking of flowers
Sounding like dream
I looked up and down
Believing I saw
Spirits of many
Encountered in awe
I laughed when I knew
That I had been blue
Since everything here
Seemed to me
Knew
About all the faeries
Who followed me home
They helped with my wishes
Noticing tome
Seeing in space
Furrowing brow
The place was a mess
Wondering how
To clean it all up
Minding the fake
Plant that was there
Seeming to make
Bridegroom in room
Madder in hue
Add to that
Mood had been blue
Seen together that day
True colors inviting
Look that was shot
In specter writing
Across the room
There was another
Thing which was given
To him by his brother
He could’ve been mad
For what he saw spun
Black widow was watching
From behind the seen gun
Just moments before
He hadn’t a clue
That everything seen
Was covered in due
He picked up the note
And read it out loud
He said I’m to blame
For digging up shroud
He said it belonged
Out in the garden
Sheltering roses
Given to pardon
Hearts that were broken
Days we remember
Celebrations we hold
Gone without number
One we can never
Seem to forget
Is the one that we’ll gather
Together for debt
Married to plot
The day we are bourne
Try battling demons
Who laugh when we mourn
Together once more
To speak about dead
Trial was hearing
All that we dread
But I came to know
In subject of tale
My world is topic
Found behind veil
I picked up the trowel
Next to the broom
I looked at the floor
Inside
Light filled room
Greenhouse was dirty
I measured the mold
I’ll take out the trash
But there is an old
Can that was used
Delivered by some
Man that refused
To let in the sun
He talked about Charley
Acting as though
He was the one
Murdering show
So I said I knew him
For the part that he played
Establishing my scene
But I was delayed
Calling the curtain
Was never my fault
I wanted to be there
To give it my all
Made up on set
About the whole timing
I bet on my life
I would be rhyming
In bringing last days
Forward as blue
I’m seen as a loser
Who can’t even due
One thing promising
Not seen in a letter
Will be burning that movie
I’ve got something better
Trial was the day
I was blown away
Relived and recounted
The old fashioned way
By talking it out
Amongst all my friends
I found out who knew me
Never following trends
Saying I lied
A letter was written
Telling me Sam
Was someone whose smitten
Brought by condition
Feeling that shame
Was there to unmask
Placed on her blame
Following footsteps
Heard in the night
Made everyone wonder
If it was the knight
Making those sounds
Playing with their head
Whispering sum thing
While they were in bed
I told you before
I am not dredd
But you should say something
Before you are dead
The food in your bowl
The clothes on your back
Are nothing compared
To what’s in the black
You’ll know when you see it
You won’t be afraid
It’s made from everything
You wish you had said
The truth of the matter
Below what you see
Is that nothing belongs
To you or to me
The hat that you’re wearing
Will soon be returned
It’s the chemistry making one
Easy to burn
But what if you knew
An easy way out
Paved with diamonds
Seeking no doubt
Will I find a word
Following bird
Place I would call home
Something obscured
By everything wanting
What everyone wants
Millions and millions
Have nothing but want
Something to measure
For living their lies
Bound up in pleasure
Counting the ties
Bringing them home
To what they’ve forgotten
Was there all along
Minding the rotten
Things that we did
Ways that we acted
Following thus
We’ll be redacted
Believe it or not
There won’t be a trial
Made for the living
Who carry the bile
For what can be won
Turning the cheek
Give in to famous
Burning the meek
Soliciting gallows
Only to find
You’re the one hanging
By the rope
Which was lying
There on the floor
Next to the chair
You wouldn’t say something
Unless you were there
But if you had told me
What you would say
You were no friend
Invited to play
Along with the others
Who couldn’t care less
Minding their business
Finding redress
For what they had done
Put seal on the floor
Marking it someday
Calling for more
Talk about heaven
It’s not like a dream
You make your own movie
Making life seam
Like nothing before
You went through the door
Bearing the heartache
Begging for moor
Child is beginning
Trial is the end
