Bittersweet

Bittersweet

I can feel your irreverence for life
Coursing through your veins
You feel the world owes you something
And feel nothing but disdain

I've never met someone
With such a selective memory
Of events both past and present
And your actions that affected me

I sense the way you work people
The way you plunge into their depth
You're a salesman, a smooth talker
Gaining souls with every single breath

But this soul you once captured
And at one time I was fooled
But I have learned my lesson a thousand times over
And realize I'd been schooled

Take a chance on me you say
You think that you have changed
But the bittersweet memory still exists
And the facts they still remain
