Vultures

I used to love your voice,
Being close to you.
Now I can’t even bear
The sight of you.
You have broken my heart
And left me for dead.
For the other vultures
Flying ‘round my bed.
As they circle my head
I can name each one;
For they’re a part of me,
Will be ‘til I’m done.
You warned I cared too much
For those around me,
You said I should try to
Be there for myself.
You could see the vultures
Taking up my time,
They were picking me dry.
I can’t spare a dime.
