Sloppy Seconds

Always the first to shoot some words when things didn't go your way
Always the first to spread the news when true love didn't stay
Baby we don't mean to hurt you
But damn it we couldn't stay
Because your always the first to spread some hate
In that f*****g nuerotic way

So by the way...
We're dancing (in the dark) without you standing in our way
We're having fun in a sophisticated way you can't behave
And now I love to bring it to your attention
That I'm having fun with your sloppy seconds

Boy, I never could get used to how you think you're f*****g great
Every second spent helping you figure out your fate
Not once do you ever stop to give a helping hand
Reciprocate generosity, become a better man

So by the way
We're dancing tonight without you standing in the way
We're having fun in a sophisticated way you can't behave
We're loving our bodies, only for a hot second, and that's okay
I'm so glad I told your drama to go away
And now I love to rub it in
That I'm having fun with your sloppy seconds

I will admit this struck a chord in me. You excellently portrayed a love lost and how you moved on. It reminded me of my own terror of a love I lost.

There are those that only think about themselves, always wanting, taking and never giving.

Love this, it is so true, yes I agree sounds like a great song, to me it would be a great country song. lol
Love it and thanks for sharing with me, enjoyed reading it

Very well written. And it's very true, I agree with the reveiw below, they sound like lyrics (to me at least) Nicely done

This is just great! It's a true sign of a good set of lyrics if you can hear them over any sort of track. It could work over something heavy just as well as something pop and catchy.

I like how you used the words "sloppy seconds" in the poem. Life seem to be repetition and sometime be second is acceptable. I like the story and the ending. A excellent poem.
