The minutes turned into hours
The hours into days
Which turned into weeks
Waiting and waiting
I cheapened myself
To no more than an after thought
With little backbone left
I dialed and said
PLEASE
As you dangle your sweet love
As a sweet candy treat
Lost in the moment
Feeling cheap and worthless
I knew this was the moment
To have some backbone
As you continued to dangle your
sweet talk before me like a candy treat
This was the moment of reckoning
Your sweet talk no more
~Beth!
