The Upgrade (Part 1)

Downgraded

Verb: To reduce to a lower grade, rank, or level of importance

 How have you been?
I haven’t seen you since last fall
Didn’t expect to run into you
And I haven’t missed you at all
Heard you’ve been through
Some events that have been trying
But no I don’t keep tabs on you
If that’s what you are implying

You seem to be going backwards
Thought you had come up for real
Didn’t think you’d look like this
Honestly what’s the deal?

Did your scheme not pan out?
Did he drop you like a dime?
Did he just up and bounce?
Like you did to me that time?

Was the sex not good enough?
I thought you had the bomb?
Is the honeymoon phase over?
Well at least you had a good run

Don’t mean to sound rude
But there’s something I gotta know
Did he finally find out…
That you used to be a ho?

So sorry if that sounded cruel
My curiosity got the best of me
You just seem so dejected
Please accept my apology

Didn’t mean to intrude
Why do you look so sad?
Here let me buy you a drink
You see it isn’t that bad…

Crushin'


Heartbeat
"This is more than a crush...:
There’s a pounding in my chest,
Got a lump in my throat
Cannot get you out of my head
Feels like I missed the boat

Saw you in the hallway…
And my heart skipped a beat
Felt like a silly schoolgirl
And you caught me trying to peep

I wonder where you are sometimes
If you are alone or with your boo
Can’t help having these thoughts
Actually, daydreams starring you

You have such a kind heart
And a sweet spirit to match
It’s so unfortunate for me
That you’re otherwise attached

I often get choked up
These emotions I have to hold in…
‘Cause I know you can’t be mine
So I’ll force a frown into a grin…

You see I really didn’t want to smile
But what else could I do
There wasn’t a chance for us in this lifetime
Nor in this world, well maybe on Earth-2
