My appolgizes for usung a little bit to many words in this week’s 100 WCGU. I end up with 130 words if I take away all uses of this week excellen phrase

… I don’t believe it…

But I couldn’t do any last week so maybe if I borrow a few 🙂

Anyway…

The accused by Odilon Redon

I don’t believe it
 when you say you want to leave
I don’t believe it
 that you for us no future see
I don’t believe it
 when I see you pack your bags
 and hear you book a flight to leave

I don’t believe it
 when I see my empty rooms
I don’t believe it
 the perfume smell you left with me
I don’t believe it
 you left to live with someone else
 my closest friend you also took

I don’t believe it
 when the lawyer’s papers comes
I don’t believe it
 the letter saying that I shouldn’t call
I don’t believe it
 when you say that I will have to sell
 to compensate for things I did

I don’t believe it
 when detectives call on me
I don’t believe it
 when I’m accused of ghastly things
I don’t believe it
 that I will have to spend my life
 in prison, for a crime I didn’t do

I do believe you set me up…
