Everyday he say he love me The love he has, I just can’t see He says that I’m his dream girl That a day with him is a wondrous whirl A friend is how I see him But there he stands ready to jump in To a relationship only he wants The thoughts he has are things that haunt Me in the night as I try to sleep And keep myself from endless weeps He asks me why I have no love For the man who watches me above I tell him he’s like my brother That I love him like a mother He hears the words I say But listens not, nor obeys When I say to just drop it He goes and throws a righteous fit He doesn’t call or text for days And hurts me in many other ways Posting pictures of him and alcohol The thing he knows I hate above all He crosses the line committing atrocious acts Weed, coke, meth breaking all our friendship pacts How exactly is his love shown When he ventures into the unknown? The fact that love’s something he punishes me for Is something I just can’t take anymore My love for him is gone Now something vicious lies in the dawn Creeps up and attacks my soul I now know my path and righteous goal Ending the relationship was not enough The ending here would be very rough It’s time for him to pay the price It’s time for me to roll the dice Let’s see what the future holds Let’s see how his fate unfolds Snake eye’s sets his destiny The price he pays shall not be free The anger boils deep in my heart The time now comes for us to part I call and say I have news to share My soul and heart I need to bear Excitement fills his deep voice Unaware that this is no time to rejoice The end of not just a relationship is near His voice should be filled with rightful fear I tell him to meet where we first met At this place shall he pay his hefty debt He arrives not long after I do The end is coming, I doubt he knew I tell him to close his eyes He obeys because in me his trust lies From behind my back I pull the knife He’ll never be my husband; I’ll never be his wife “It’s time for life to end for you” The knife I take and plunge it through As the words are heard he lifts his eyes As the knife goes through his smile dies Now his debt is fully paid Now I’m free, forever and always
