Love Poem: If You Had a Soul

If You Had a Soul

If you had a soul, it’s color would be black;
If you were Pinocchio, your nose would be as long as that;
If you could keep them on, your pants would be on fire;
You’re not only a cheat - you’re a big fat liar.

You look me straight in the eye
And pump out another lie.
I know you were with her,
So please don’t now deny.
Breaking my heart 
Was just the start
Of the beginning of the end;
Now don’t add to the hurt
By saying she’s just a friend.

If you had a soul, it’s color would be black;
If you were Pinocchio, your nose would be as long as that;
If you could keep them on, your pants would be on fire;
You’re not only a cheat - you’re a big fat liar.

The cologne that you wear
Doesn’t cover her perfume.
I see other signs
That she was in our room.
You wonder why
All night I cry
And pretend that you don’t know;
I think the time has come
For you to pack and go.

If you had a soul, it’s color would be black;
If you were Pinocchio, your nose would be as long as that;
If you could keep them on, your pants would be on fire;
You’re not only a cheat - you’re a big fat liar.

No longer loving me, 
Is surely bad enough;
But taking me for a fool
Is a bit too much.
Be a man,
Admit if you can,
You’re fooling around behind my back;
Then turn and walk out that door,
Taking your things I’ve already packed.
