lord have mercy

By molock

love is like a fire,
​desert heart in
bloom.
tear drops on a
dozen black roses,
and i give them all
​to you.
​your soul is like
winter,
​I'm waiting for the
fall.
my pride feels a
splinter,
guess the writing's
on the wall.

lord have mercy,
i was forsaken
by love.

lord have mercy,
i thought i was
​the chosen one.

lord have mercy,
forgive me for the
things I've done.

lord have mercy
on me,
when my time 
has come.

God in heaven,
i don't know what
to do.
caught my woman in
​bed with another man,
then i lost my cool.

lord have mercy,
​i was forsaken by
love.

lord have mercy,
i thought i was the
chosen one,

lord have mercy,
forgive me for the
things I've done.
​
lord have mercy
on me,
when my time
has come.

​some shotgun shells,
​a bottle of booze.
open the gates of
hell,
we all have a path to
choose.
God have mercy on
my soul,
hope she's feelin'
​bulletproof....

she was late from
work,
so i followed her
back.
​she hitched a ride
with some GI Joe,
in a pearl white Cadillac.
they took a turn down
an old dirt road,
....pulled in to a two-
room flat.
​i got my 12 gauge
from the trunk,
​turned that place
  in to a
shotgun shack.

lord have mercy,
i was forsaken by
love,

lord have mercy,
i thought i was the
chosen one.

lord have mercy,
​forgive me for the
things I've done.

lord have mercy
on me,
when my time has
come.

    Hi Mo - penultimate stanza; penultimate line - guessing "it" might be an extra word typo maybe? Betrayal is the worst, and some wounds will never heal. Some people are never meant for the long haul. Cheers amigo, and don't forget to add more double ought to your Wal-Mart shopping list! - Dan
