Drop Dead Gorgeous (Take 2)

A rework of another poem from 2005 that I forgot about.

Well, you're back in town ... he done you wrong

And now you're singing that same old song

About how you always cared for me

How you were always there for me

But, you know we've played that game before

The first time that you walked out that door

I forgave you and let you back inside

Forgot about all the tears I cried

Then after just a few months went by

You left me for another guy

And now you speak of starting anew

Well that's one thing that I will not do

I won't play a game that I'm bound to lose

So drop dead, gorgeous ... 'cause you're old news

Trust is important in a relationship and if one cheats, like in this scenario, then trouble rumbles... hard to reinvent the first dagger.... well written
