MOVE ON

Debbie Middaugh AKA TURBO1904 1963 (San Diego, CA.)



   They tell me pick up the pieces time to move-on,
Nothing left of love it's up and gone.

    I can't seem to recall anything good, I can't remember,
All that remains are ashes and burning ember.

    So many lies, betrayal and Bullshit games,
Love lost forever gone up in flames.

    She never even glanced back at me,
What a mess it was, a sight to see.

    She erased me from her life, I never existed,
I'm here alone all tangled up and twisted.

    I have a different opinion, another view,
The two of them I've taking a dislike to.

    She looks at me with a blank stare in her eyes,
This you could say took me by surprise.

    Nothing to remind her of what use to be,
She thinks I'm crazy, some wild banshee.

    Ten years we share the same bed,
I'm in deep way over my head.

    She thinks it's funny, she chuckled,
I felt sick and my knees buckled.

    It is well over a year ago.
For me every day still touch and go.

    She is with a good friend of mine,
I'm teetering on a thin blue line.

    She destroyed my world, left me in the dark and alone,
This is fucking war, they cast the first stone.

    They are all happy not a care in the world,
I'm like a snake, ready to strike and UN-CURLED…….
