The Last Laugh

When I needed you most you were never there,

Your words filled with promises but your actions left me in despair,

I gave you so much of me for so many years,

My repayment has been nothing but tears,

I tried over and over to tell you how I feel,

You told me that’s funny because my feelings aren’t real,

I begged you to listen – to hear what I say,

You shut me out and refused every day,

I have nothing left for you, nothing more to give,

You laugh in my face and say it has never been enough, you need more of me for you to live,

When you see me desperate and releasing my tears,

You prey on my weakness and pounce on my fears,

You promised to love me for better or for worse,

You lied through your teeth, you won’t stop until I’m in a hearse,

It’s really Ok, though, don’t pretend like you care,

Because not long from now, I’ll be out of your hair,

You’ve broken me down ‘til I was vulnerable and weak,

But you seem to have forgotten, I still know how to speak,

You turn around truths and try to make me a liar,

Keep trying there honey, you’re playing with fire,

When you wake up one day and see you were wrong,

It will be too late for your ‘sorry’ because I will have been long gone,

So laugh while you can, make jokes at me too,

Because when I end this game…. the joke is on you!!
