Sweet Revenge Poem by Carmen Cilla Cook

Are you feeling the water, that boils in the pot
Can you feel that dam temperature getting real hot
Are you watching him talking, with finesse and such charm
But you wish you could only inflict pain and much harm
Are you listening to gossip, and advice from your friends
That you really should leave it, and just make amends
Is he hanging in places, he just shouldn’t be
And your thinking that’s not right that place was for me
Do your friends feel so sorry, let him grieve! !
Why’d she leave? ? ?
Don’t answer the telephone,
Don’t dine with old friends,
Don’t check on your Face Book,
Don’t follow such trends
Just look to the future
Just care for yourself
Don’t plan Sweet Revenge Now
Just leave on the shelf
