ING PROPHECY

There’s a song I’m gonna write next week
about heart break
and betrayal
and bad women
on dangerous days.

I’m gonna tell a tale
that will crush weak souls
but encourage the strong,
warning them against the pitfalls
of love
and all the damage it can do.

I have a million ideas
about a trillion scenarios
I’ll be put through
by you.
A million ideas
I am prepared to act on
– none of them any good.

I will begin the writing
next week
the very minute after,
I’m sure,
you choose to cross me.
