Tainted Love

I lived my days well,
Just to see you smile.
I did my best to let you know
That you had a best friend in me, all the while.
But when I saw you take her side,
I could feel the bile
Rise in my throat
At just the thought of your smile.

I remember that day...
The day I saw the truth.
As you sat all cozy
Next to the big breasted Ruth;
Side by side, hand in hand.
Ordering drinks in out backroom booth.
The shock was so great
That the skin on my lip broke by my tooth.

I'll never forget
How I felt inside.
The love I felt
Was all because you lied.
It's been forty years
And I still have not cried.
Tonight's the night you'll finally see
That long ago, I should have died.

It's raining outside, thunder and lightning,
Soaking your skimpy little whore.
You both make it inside
And change from the clothes you wore.
All cozy; comfy. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Who could be knocking at your door?
And the little boy with golden curls
Now lays bloody upon your wooden floor.

Grandson's dead.
Who's next for me to dispurse?
A blood curtling scream
Reaches from ear to brain, a curse.
Wife, sons, daughters, all dead now.
BANG! There goes the hired nurse.
Looks like a phone sticking out,
Like she was going for her purse.

He's standing in front of me
For the first time in years
And I can see the sadness and horror
Through the blood and tears.
The Colt .45 clicks in my hand
And he just leers
At me with a dirty face,
All splatters and smears.

"You know I was the one...
The one to wait all that while.
You were my soul mate
But look at what you had to defile!"
My voice broke, couldn't speak anymore
And once again I can feel the bile.
BANG! There went the .45, bullet in your head,
All just because you didn't smile.
