Analysis of Him

Elizabeth Lacy 1964 (Denver)



He is a lie,
Playing with my mind.
Bullshit games is what he's about,
Empty words roll out his mouth.
Talking about nothing at all,
His words bounce off my walls.
Feelings of anger towards this little man,
Trying to forget him as fast as I can.
Constantly telling me that he cares,
However not even a moment can he spare.
Why all these games he plays,
Injecting himself into my days.
Stay away from me for good,
and make sure I'm understood.
I want nothing more to do with you,
Because you make me sad and blue.
