Love To The Victor
I heard he’s back in town.
Better when he was not around.
I had you all to my own.
Spent hours with you on the phone.
He did you dirty and made you cry.
He was not a very nice guy.
My heart went out to you.
I wanted to do all I could do.
Try to repair the damage he did.
Restore your trust in another kid.
But, I tremble since he is back in town.
Will you want to get back with this clown?
I pray such a thing will never happen.
If it does, I will feel like crap then.
I gave you the best of my love.
Seems to me, we fit like a glove.
But, you really had it bad for him.
Once he was done, your trust was thin.
I know you were really hurt before.
I want to say it should be nevermore.
Then, we saw him coming down the street.
Looking so smug and so complete.
God’s answer to women, he thinks.
He can get what he wants with just a wink.
I stood there afraid to move.
I felt like my feet were glued.
What would you do when he saw you?
There would be little that I could do.
Then, all my fears and worries were set free.
You turned around and walked away with me.
