A Poem by Hunter Zabbai

sitting here alone on the rainiest of days
wishing you were here to kill the craziest of pains
we've been through so much s**t, so i'm kinda amazed
that over this one little incident you'd get the nerve to walk away
but i guess that's the way it goes, i shoulda known
i'd be destined to have to walk down this lonely road all alone
lighting up another cigarette, though I promised you I'd quit
contemplating slitting wrists and just saying tough s**t

but the scars on my arms can't write these bars
so i pick myself up, coz i'ma star, and i'm shooting far
i feel like i found the damn lamp, but handed it to jafar
but i'ma steal it back, become large, move off of lamar
i guess you were too busy with your career to even see me
i guess you were so preoccupied that you had to up leave me
so now you can see my a*s everyday and night on the tv
coz every chick wants to f**k me, and every dude wants to be me

you were the only thing in my life that made any sense
you were the only thing i thought about during that prison sentence
i paid my penance, but i guess we're finished
now i'm locked up in bed with a girl that's finnish
i can't even pronounce her first or last name
but oh well, f**k it, that's the price you pay for fortune and fame
get off stage, rushed by another nameless dame
take a handful of pills just to reliviate the pain
get inebriated but i feel the same, people are strange
i was tired of working at macdonalds with you for chump change
but you thought i was just a chump uncappable of change
look out how far i've come, the f*****g world knows my name
meanwhile, how the f**k are you doing?
what drugs are you using, and what dude are you suing?
i'm not doing this coz i got something to prove
i'm just doing this coz now i got nothing f*****g left to lose
remember that christmas i wrote you that poem
and bought you those shoes and said i'll always be here
to sing for you when you have the blues?
yeah, well i meant everyword when i said it, so it was true
but now i got some bad news
i'm painting the world and my pockets green without you
but don't worry, this song ain't even about you
so don't get your hopes up, i ain't ever gonna say your name
even when i'm doing this sold out show in ukraine
don't be vain, just sing the refrain

if i could take it all back right now i would
i never woulda done or said the things i shouldnt
but you can't play what if's, so that's all folks
the world is motherfucking full of different strokes
and different blokes for you, and different hoes for me
that's why i'm leaving you here bloody on the street
my hiphop lawyer will help me get off scott free
order another scotch please, the cops i just breeze
right on past in my bronco, with ten dead bodies in the back yo
drinking a glass of oj and vodka, and everything is okay
you want ta, go, when you die you only can go one way

There are some little edits needed and a bit re-structuring of moments, but it strings along with a nice flow.
