Best Times

The best times of my life are gone.

Black Friday.

Pick yourself up, pieces.

It’s time to move on.

Black Friday.

*

I lie so very well

What you see aint what you get.

No-one could tell

I have a wounded heart.

I may look fine

they say I look handsome, pretty

but you’re not mine

and I’m not yours anymore.

*

I was always a rebel

My mama says live like society

Well mama do tell

Must I follow a society

that justifies war

that hates all it can’t understand

and so far

it’s killed me and my love.
