Love's Bad Rap You really took me in with your philanthropic urges that merged with your shallow-hearted love surges. You tried to claim me like a secondhand table and you treated our love like a secondhand fable. Your image, made of plastic I took for fantastic. My saddened heart does not stretch like elastic. You turned my sunshine into sullen grey, and burned my love-heart to ashes today. You stunned my soul with your sultry essence, I mistook your heavenly body for quintessence. You spread your lies and back-stab slander and you left me waiting like a bus top stander. You leave my world broke and battered, all my love words torn and scattered. You let me taste your delicious ambrosia. now I wonder what damn ice has froze ya! © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ Image: Sigfrid Lundberg via flickr CC
