She took him back despite his cheating.
He promised he’d never cheat again.
Making up felt so wonderful and good
Like falling in love a second time.
Her happiness blossomed like a flower
But wilted and died six months later
When despite his heartfelt promise
He cheated on her with her cousin.
And she went a little crazy and
Smashed his new car’s windows
And its lights into shattered pieces.

It began with loud music
From the next door apartment
Arguments over the noise
Tempers began raging
Swearing and threats
Rose in the apartment house
Between the two men
Life ended for both of them

When the guy complaining
Shot the loud music guy
Who died immediately, 3 shots
The shooter got life in prison
Died of a heart attack from
The stress and the shock
And the loss of his freedom
From one insane mistake

Bob Boyd

It began with weed at parties
Then the LSD trips
Then the harder stuff
Consumed by drugs
His life in descent
Three years later
Staggering on the sidewalk
Weaving back and forth
Looking like a zombie
On the forlorn streets of
Kensington, Philadelphia

Bob Boyd
