Sleight of hand Diagrams only Confused The many regrets basking In a hand basket Trying to stay warm A smoking gun That never missed The kiss of death Our long fought history that stained Ace of spades It’s best to just let it be Game over That dog won’t hunt anymore The sun went Down on us Long ago And I realize There’s absolutely no Turning back zero chance Fabricated you and I We may be blood But we are far from A perfect oneness But what we had Was never truly genuine In my eyes a made up lie To help us feel better About the true likeness a Maternal bond The differences that cloned Between us My hearts bitter And my walls went up To shield me from you And the sick and twisted games The theatre you held me in Like a puppet I was sick of the hurt The way you dragged me Through the mud I find myself resenting you Far to much And I don’t want to be reminded Of you and thee Hatchet that will never be buried Between us not in this lifetime
