The Lie

(short story rhyme)

One day I was walking down the street and there she was…..And I said

Aw! Man! What do we have here

I kicked the game really bold and didn’t show no fear

I winked she said hi, I was eyeing her rear

Conversation led on to what I make in a year.

So I said “well look Boo give me a call.

Tap kiss on the cheek, with the number and all!

Yeah we planned for a date, I picked her up around eight

Headed to the casino for some creeping out of state.

Spent a little bit of doe on the room, You know.

The game of Black jack brought a little bit back

We were both really drunk, so we hit the sack.

For an hour me and jimmy hat was breaking her back!

Then we passed out and slept for what seemed a lifetime

Then woke up in the morning just a little past nine.

I heard the shower running so I knocked on the Door

Peeked in, And SHE WAS LAYING ON THE COLD TILE FLOOR!

I TURNED TOWARD THE SINK WITH A LUMP IN MY THROAT!

WHEN I REALIZED THIS NOTE THAT WAS COVERED IN COKE!

IT READ “ I’M READY TO DIE..SO WORLD GOODBYE“!

SHE HAD THIS NEEDLE BY HER THIGH ON THE FLOOR WERE SHE LYE

I GASPED FOR AIR, THEN THE ROOM FELT COLD

SHE COULDN’T BE ANYMORE THEN TWENTY FOUR YEARS OLD

SO I RAN TOWARD THE PHONE I CALLED THE COPS

I WAS STANDING IN THE CORNER BUTT NAKED FULL OF SHOCK!

THE COP’S SHOWED UP TOLD ME TO “GET ON THE GROUND”!

PUT THE CUFF’S ON MY WRIST!.. I’m like what the heck is this!

He said your under arrest for kidnap and rape

I said what for Julie? He said her names Kate!

Cop said “she’s fifteen” and my mouth just dropped

I tried to escape, then got beaten by the cop’s

And now I’m in jail and it’s hard to relax!!

SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON DON’T GOT ALL THE FACTS!

In jail they want to kill me so I’ve been told.

Because a couple of inmates got kids fifteen years old

I’m paranoid and scared but nobody care’s

Man life’s not fair! life’s not fair!

I cry in my cell, in jail they say “nobody cares about you, soon enough you’ll pay for what you put the girl through”. So I’m trying to get out and I’m trying to fit in!

But no matter what I do, I just can’t win!

I can’t believe this girl went and took her life.

I should have been more faithful to my wife.

Now what’s a man supposed to do?

ALLI COULD DO IS TELL THIS LIE TO YOU..

GOOD THING IT WAS A DREAM, I WOKE UP AND WIPED OFF THE SWEAT!

BECAUSE THAT’S THE TYPE OF THING I WOULD LIKE TO FORGET!

I’m just messing with your head, did you believe that she was on the floor dead! Silly

The LIE!
