THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE

Cornell G. Mack 1955 (Washington DC)

February 23 


The look on your face said it all when you heard what I had to say  I no longer desire you someone new has taken your place you wanted to play games running around thinking you were slick  but I knew all along who you had been with the best thing you can do right about now is pack your things and leave you've been unfaithful for the very last time this you can trust and believe I put my all into you but you chose to lie and cheat you meet with another guy I know at least twice a week you didn't have the good sense to cover your own tracks there's no need to go any further I already know the facts you put it out there for the whole world to see the bottom line is you can no longer be with me you ask can we work this out what kind of fool do you take me for like I said my dear your bags are at the door, now you ask who is this heifer { AUH, is she moving in now} it's not your business nor your concern for who I now have around do I have to call the police to get you up out of here get your hat, get your gear you no longer live here what part don't you understand you chose another guy I'm no longer your man and he's one of the reasons why now you're on your own this use to be your home , grab your bags and don't forget your phone i use to have love in my heart for you but now there's nothing left you chose a cook my dear but I'm a master chef you played your hand wrong and you sold yourself cheat and now that you're leaving I probably can get some sleep, all I can do for you now is wish you well and the best you really did try my patience and put me to the test a test that I know I passed because I no longer have to deal with you, you wouldn't be crying right about now if what I'm saying wasn't true, as you can see my dear I'm doing okay  I no longer have to listen to what lies you have to say, so save it for the next guy I see now how you roll a position in my life sweetheart you can no longer hold. I went along with your charade for as long as I could the reason you're getting put out of today Is that you're no damn good, one last thing I have to say give me my keys and be on your way there's nothing left for you and me to say, so go right ahead and do whatever it is that you do the bottom line Is you and I are through.
