In Lieu Of Words...

by Jersey D Gibson



Simplified
In my mind
All I tried
failure...

Can't believe
Won't conceive
Don't deceive
beligerant...

All that I do
isn't good enough for you.

All that I do
is delay the inevitable...




WAIT FOR IT!

In lieu of words
I'd tell you how I feel

by punching you in the face.

In lieu of words
I'd let everything go

by kicking the chair from under your feet.




(nothing's the same now it's over)



What's this
What's this you say
You got something you want to tell me?
liar...

Answers
Not excuses
Always make good conversation points
bullshit...

All that I said
just went right out of your head.

All that I promised
just proved to be worthless to you.




HERE IT COMES!

In lieu of words
I'd tell you how we stand

by slipping you a gun in an airport security line.

In lieu of words
I'd make everything known

by calling in your car stolen by a dangerous criminal.




(did you think I was going to play fair?)

Loving this piece Jers. Seems like you took my feelings out of my head and arranged them on paper for me.

I must say, you certainly can stir the pot. I thought this emotional floodgate was sure to release directly into Anger Management Classes, with you and me in the front row, hehe!! The best line was the chair kicker, touché. pe4ce...
