I Still Know The Way To Make Your Makeup Run

by Jenni Marie   Jan 29, 2008


{And as mascara stains your cheeks...I smile.}

Didn't you realize that eventually one day, sweetheart
Someone would tire of your idiotic stories and games?
That maybe one day, someone would do something
And make you appreciate that "paybacks a b.itch?"

If only you'd realized, you wouldn't be in this mess
Look at that; you're drowning, didn't you learn to swim?
The boot's on the other foot, you've become the toy
And oh how it amuses me to make you so ashamed

Look, I'm taking so much pleasure in your pain
Enjoying the fact you have no idea I'm causing it all
Whispering false words of comfort when you weep
Inside I'm reveling in the fact you're falling apart

Shouldn't play games with someone who can play better
You never stopped to think about that did you, honey?
Oh isn't it a shame you've fallen into your own deceit
Can you see the surface yet, do you know which way is up?

I'm guessing that the answer is no, you have no idea
It's a dangerous seductive game in the world of betrayal
But I guess you just never thought that far ahead
Oh sweetheart, don't you wish you'd learned to swim now?

    I enjoyed the vindictiveness in this poem very powerful and staight to the heart. The flow was good but the poem as it pertains to the title well there really wasn't that big of a bridge oh well just a thought Plot121

    I loved this stanza:
    Look, I'm taking so much pleasure in your pain
    Enjoying the fact you have no idea I'm causing it all
    Whispering false words of comfort when you weep
    Inside I'm reveling in the fact you're falling apart

    Very well written another insulting poem. I love your work.

    Like always a wonderful write from a excellent poet. The flow was just alright for me, I felt it could of been a bit better (but that's just my opinion) Your overall choice of vocabulary was well sought out and had a nice impact on the write. Keep up the great work.

    Peace, Joe

    Really, where's the rhythm?
    Where's the poetry?
    It would be far better if you thought on how to rhyme it.

    The words them self were expressed very well, and the theme was set out in stone.
