ROCK MY SOUL - "His Mistresses"

                                                              HIS MISTRESSES

                                                              Somewhere in time
                                                              I stopped giving a damn
                                                              About making my bed
                                                              Or washing the floor;
                                                              How clean I kept it
                                                              Meant nothing in being evicted.
                                                              Loyalty to a man
                                                              Meant nothing to him;
                                                              His mistresses of
                                                              Alcohol and drugs
                                                              Destroyed any traces
                                                              Of what could have been
                                                              Love.
                                                              Should I care to impress myself
                                                              When what beauty I offer
                                                              To my significant other
                                                              Is left
                                                              He preferring instead
                                                              The small dirty places
                                                              Where alcohol and drugs reign?
                                                              They claim and keep
                                                              Like no other mistress
                                                              Can or ever will.
