Moving On

You said “yes” to “will you marry me?”
Moments before you suspected I was cheating
Your jealousy dominantly took your personality
And ironically you underwent infidelity
Took my ring, and my home, and left me to the street
Didn't know until then I was nothing to you or your family
As a final “fuck you” you called a man in blue
And requested civil standby when we'd meet

You led me on, but my emotions were in check
I was bitten thrice before so four would make me a wreck
A coin toss determined a question you did expect
But you walked away, without saying “no” or “yes”
Guessing it's a negative, I assumed you were selective
I conjured up the positive and only realized it then
That you were manipulative, and being glad I gave up quick
When I saw you would play off the mind, heart, or dick

If you both live your lives and keep on make excuses
No one will comfort you as your self-value reduces
So go ahead, post on Facebook how you feel useless
All you have to do is change, but that effort fruitless
I know I brought this on me – now  you appear fewer
Strangers we became overtime – life seems newer
I admit I didn't think I'd say “yeah, I knew her”
Not my fault if you have five kids and all of them are Juniors

I was told to mold a break-up and/or rejection song
I'm not good at swiftly tailoring about love gone wrong
I end up getting bored about some old days' problems
Is this denial, arrogance, or maybe I just moved on
Or maybe songs like this are just out of my style
And I tried to write in different forms, but this one's not worthwhile
Life's not worth wasting putting petty loves on trial
So here's to those who chose to keep their wits and be guile

So where was I? Oh yes!
Something about a double X chromosome set
I'll be honest I truly couldn't care less
Live life the way you wish, and I'll live life best
This one's for all you hopeless romantics
But seriously, moving on – no more praying mantis
Now let's have some fun and continue with my antics
Whether playing bard or a discussing some semantics
