Here's To The Lies

You're courting center stage
With the man who was my lover
Oh, it's such an honor
Armored in this hideous chiffon gown
Even though an hour ago
You ducked into the coatroom, undercover
Where his brother's sweaty fingers
Pulled your smelly G-string down

I wish you both
All the joy and happiness
In the world
As I stand here
Biting my tongue
With my knuckles curled
Tightly around this bouquet
Blood fleeting from my fingers
As I abstain from objecting
To this mockery on display

If only I could sincerely
Say that I really didn't care
Counting the promises broken
That I wouldn't even dare to go there
But, here I am, once again
Hiking that familiar worn out trail
Tempted to snap a champagne flute
Impale her eyes behind that veil

And then,

I come to my senses

this is where I begin to see the Light

The realization settling in

almost like a private choir singing for me and only me

It does the heart no good to get mad

which causes my heart to rejoice, lifting in spirit

Because I know what truly matters

And that is,

I'll be getting even

Till death
May you never part
And forever dwell in bliss
Of the stupidity and ignorance
That culminated
In this
Betrothal of betrayal
This
Sordid matrimonial tale
Without a prayer
In the very least
In God I trust
This union to fail

Here's to the lies
And to venereal disease from all the guys
Banging that revolving door of a snatch
You have come to so dearly prize
Over the love I gave you
With the exception of one lousy night
In which you fucked her behind my back
And now,

She serves you right
