It Was You Poem by G J Salgado

It Was You

Rating: 3.5


At times I'm erratic
I like to be sporatic
A lot of times I'm dramatic
Don't like to cause much static
But my measures can be drastic
No skeletons in my closet yet
I don't hold back with regrets
Won't make unkept threats
There's a trunk of hearts in the attic...bet
Bet a few rounds and watch me spin
It's all aces of spades I'm gonna win
Coming in the for the kill; I'll take the skin
Sit back, take a few shots; then I'm at it again
You don't understand my rhymes
Trying to read between the lines
It's what's hidden between time
It won't matter what you find
You'll never understand me
Won't know where I'm headed
See me but never get me
Every inch of me shredded
You singled me out
Think you figured me out
You don't know what I'm about
I thought you'd know that by now
Money and blood have washed down the drain
I won't be sold out to the money train
They'll never taint my name
Believe me I have no shame
Can't do what I've already done to myself
Been used up and put back on the shelf
All the hands have already been dealt
What did you go and do to yourself
Don't follow me
Unless you can swallow me
Don't spit me out
If you can't split me up
Don't cut me out
If you can't drink from my cup
You can't just sip it up
Shut up and zip it up
You can't shut me out
Can't hit on me now
I won't give up
I don't back down
You still can't figure me out
Block me in I'll shut you out
Spit on me
I'll chew you up
Spit you out
I'll $hit you back out
Then I'm done with you
Have you so twisted up
You won't know what to do
Except to feed it back through
I'll bleed it back out for you
I'll sit back and watch it spew
Back in and out your mouth
I won't be hung out to dry
That's not what this is about
Still haven't figured out why
I put all the cards on the table
I played you over and over
Watched you spin so fast you weren't able
To catch your breath fast enough
Couldn't catch me; I'm something you can't touch
But you still can't get enough
I'm the one you can't get enough of
You couldn't figure out who it was
The entire time it was just you
