More in Dregs & Other Unreadables

acerbic

I said many things
and many things I didn't
many things I meant to say
one of them: good riddance

I meant to give you nothing
though I'll take anything at all
every morning I will dance
and laugh when you should fall

every lie you tell me
every phrase you say
I won't believe a word of it
or see your shades of gray

I can't believe your smile
and I don't believe your speech
I'll never understand
you hypocrite, no matter how you preach

I've said many things
and many things I won't
but don't believe I like you
because I really don't

I like this, I like this one a lot. It reminds of someone and it probably does that for everyone. My only suggestion is in that there a few lines that don't drip off the tongue very easily. With a little modification though, it would read so smooth that the acerbic tone would more accessible.

ex.1

I said many things
many things I didn't
many things I meant to say
one of them: good riddance
ex. 2

 

I can't believe your smile
I don't believe your speech
I'll never understand hypocrisy
no matter how you preach

 



I am orbiting, I don't know where, but I am orbiting something!
