Cliched Story Love Fantastic

Cliched Story Love Fantastic

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

A short little song about cliched jilted love and that type of crap.

"

Oh baby this is my time--

Time to pay for your crimes.

With all the s**t that I’ve seen

You know that I might just die.

But I know you won’t cry

Cuz all you’ve said were false lies.

Can’t get you out of my mind.

You’ve taken too much of my time.

I tried silence and a good bye,

But you’re still in these words that I rhyme.


Get-Get outta my head.

Please just outta my life.

I am on the mend.

I am so alive.

Get-Get back in my bed.

There’s just stuff I can’t hide.

With all that we have said,

I know that it has died.


“Et tu brute,” we say,

     And then we stay.

A knife in the back

     Is just gettin’ played.

It’s the Game of Life,

     But we’re goin’ bankrupt.

Monopoly on my heart--

     The f****n’ banker’s corrupt.

Chest made of porcelain,

     Set the beats to shatter.

One day it will be done

     With all of me that mattered.

Such a sticky situation

     In paperback--paid plastic.

Vampire hearts in sunlight--

     Cliched story love fantastic.


Get-Get outta my head.

Please just outta my life.

I am on the mend.

I am so alive.

Get-Get back in my bed.

There’s just stuff I can’t hide.

With all that we have said,

I know that it has died

Get-Get outta my head.

Please just outta my life.

I am on the mend.

I am so alive.

Get-Get back in my bed.

There’s just stuff I can’t hide.

With all that we have said,

I know that it has died.

Nice movement of thoughts in the poem. Need some music and you will have a good song. Hard to toss someone out of your brain. Some people can tattoo their face on our minds forever. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
