Analysis of Trading tears

joanna scott 1967 (Birmingham)



You spent many days
making me cry
you hurt so bad
I wanted to die
soon I left
when the tables turned
I am happy now
but you got badly burned
thinking the grass was greener
on the other side
the acid tears now your torture
as I hold my head in pride
