The Revolution

What she told me

She told me I got a way with words, I told her I got away with words,

She proceeded to ask me what I mean, a crafty way for her to try and get a speech from me

I told her me and Lexis get along, 

I told her me and Lexis were getting fond,

I saw the jealousy within her eyes, 

Who’s Alexis she abruptly replied,

I told her LEXIS was a friend of mine, we got away together and that we would spend the rest of our lives

together, I saw the pain in her eyes, 

I’m sure I saw a tear in her eyes.

She told me I got a way with words, I told her I got away with words,

She loved the way that I linked my words, my metaphors, my use of verbs she longed to hear me speak in verse,

Tell her how her eyes were the sun to my day, how I loved to watch her pupils dilate,

She jokingly said that she would be my pupil

and that she’d love to see me demonstrate

She told me I got a way with words, I told her I got away with words,

If I couldn’t use words to express myself, I guess every day would be a living hell.
