To All The Girls In Love Before

There is a need to state a few things more

For a host of feelings and musings sore

I'll say them soberly though not quite covertly

I'm glad that we met until you tried to subvert me

Ms. Understand, we couldn't see eye to eye

My hands extended kindness but you went for a lie

Not all affinities are subterfuge for some huge thing

Now all's been drowned by a deluge of fawning

Ms. Communicate, please think before you speak

Your voice is too loud but your argument is weak

The goodwill you've painstakingly tried to convey

Came off rather sour as with all else you say

Ms. Guided, you should have really thought first

Look before you leap, or else get into more hurt

No one made you a promise or gave you their heart

You rolled the dice, missed a ladder, slid back to the start

Ms. Interpret, you read me all wrong

I had no secret agenda, but your game was strong

Insisted there was something in my actions and words

But really to me they were just nouns and verbs

Ms. Placement, you need to know where to put what and when

Or suffer these consequences again and again

Your valuables need a receptive receptacle soon

Make sure he's one who'll take you to the moon

And lastly, Ms. Prision: you could have at least been nice

If you thought I was the one, you should have treated me right

Your disrespect does anything but turn me on

Even what little friendship we had is all but gone

To all the girls in love before

Who travelled in and out my door

I'm glad you came along

I indicate this strong

You were the ones in love before*
