dreg



I try not to bring out
the others
Sometimes
they just force their way through
You call it my excuse
I know it's just the effects
of our abuse
I can feel your hate
While I'm walking away
You didn't even need to say
Use me if you will
I'm just a tool
Fortune's fool
Quartered on the wheel
Wound up on the spool
It's obvious
You needed us
For one thing
But many of…
And when they were all used up
Revoked your ruse of love
I can't tell the difference between
your kind
and the ones who might be just right
because I'm downcast
blinded by shame
she may have already
crossed my path
