You went down for nothing

You went down for nothing

A Poem by Tania Mo

Oh baby, how naive you're-thinking yourself an acrobat
Jumping around like a big f*****g clown
You thought you could walk the rope
You thought you could play it and play me
But your feet can't steady when
your rope is slacking and your attention is divided as f**k.
So I gave you a long rope and watched you go down and I gave you a long rope and watched you strangle yourself with it.

He ain’t no tightrope walker and you Tania got him sussed and sorted. Sounds like he got his just desserts. Way to go girl. Enjoyed.

Thank you Chris. Glad you enjoyed. :)
Yeah I have felt that way once too, just watch them strangle.

But later realised it wasn't worth it.

What a way to say good bye
Give them enough rope to get tangled up

I feel i had written this one. A long rope helps pack up the fools always, doesn't it Tania? This is such a clever write.
