Dark Tango
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
You dumped me,
before i dumped you
You screwed me out of spite
Reciting poisoned poetry
Something like, a
Dark tango
Taking each step
progressively
Stepping hard and fast
Into our protected realm of intimacy
Destroying everything
We worked so hard together
To achieve
Until i broke into tears,
Got angry and walked away
You tried to make me
Regret the day i met you,
Something
You could not achieve without me
i own the rights on loving you
Nothing i would not do, for you
You’re stressing
Just not good enough?
As opposed to, what course
You have proposed
What, from your perspective?
How i made you feel
i was doing, while
Screwing you
