Five $100 bills

Recompense

I need my recompense for all things I said and did to pay her bills and raise her kids

My ex she makes no sense
Won’t grant me recompense
For all things I said and did
To pay her bills and raise her kids

She’d say I’m such a drag
A bumbling older man
She burned my cash; I burned my credit
Wasting all it took to get it

The things inside my head
The words I left unsaid
All her lies I took as truths
’til nothing was left to rescue;

My ex she makes no sense
I need my recompense
For all things I said and did
To pay her bills and raise her kids

Ten years I was her man
I gave her all I had
I made mistakes and took her blame
I drowned in misbegotten shame

Tried couples therapy
Five times she quit on me
Spoke her mind to clear the air
Each time I took steps to repair

Come time to compromise
Take some steps from her side
That’s when she would suggest
We quit the work and do some sex

My ex she made no sense
I want my recompense
For all things I said and did
To pay her bills and raise her kids

Was no transparency
Savings she took from me
I tried to save for a rainy days
She shut me out and misbehaved

When nights turned into weeks
A life with a wife who never speaks
Her smiles burned in my mind
While solace was so hard to find

My ex she made no sense
I still seek recompense
For all things I said and did
To pay her bills and raise her kids
