Her Favorite Cure

She hands you a dollar,
You steal her purse,
Grabbing her choking collar,
She attempts to break this curse

She’s been with you for so long,
You were the first inside her,
She’s been with more men while with you,
Then she could ever say before

A sense of uncontrollable hilarity,
Crashes down and washes over me,
Did you know that I was one of those men?
We made love down by the river bend.

So you break her down and feed her pills,
Steal away her life from the outside world,
All alone now you run in for the kill,
She’s too numb too hurt to even scream

She’s sober now and running to me,
I clasp her as close as close can be,
We share a kiss by the moonlit sea,
I’ll unlock her heart with the only key

Rearing its ugly head appears the painful truth,
She was using me as her favorite cure
To patch the wound you inflicted,
Though I love her more than life itself,
She’ll never steal herself away from you.
