Blocked (The Ballad Of Fried Rice, Chads & Heartache)

β€”

by

in ,

I waited at the Chinese takeout

You said we’d meet at nine

I said I’d place our order

And you told me that was fine

Lobster rice, the fancy kind

For you I bought the best

But now I’m here and waiting

A sinking feeling in my chest

The owner was a dick

And he said I had to leave

Said I couldn’t loiter

He missed the heart upon my sleeve

I took my takeout order

And I stood out in the rain

The bag was getting soggy

As I cried my tears of pain

So I opened the container

And I took a little bite

But my stomach it was turning

‘Cause I knew we’d have a fight

My fingers shaking as I dialed

I was afraid to hear your voice

Imagine my surprise

When I knew you’d made your choice

All at once it hit me

All at once my world was rocked

You had chose a Chad and left me

And my number had been blocked

  3. I think if we collect all stories behind this β€œblocked” word, we can write so many real time anecdotes that would fill a book. Such painful stories I am sure. πŸ‘
