[ She Came Into Your Life Like A Flash ]
[ Her Love Could Not Be Bought With Cash ]
[ Now Your Heart Is Just A Pile Of Ash ]
 
[ That Pile Is All You Have Remaining Of The Time You (2) Were Together ]
[ Her Moods Changed As Fast As The Oregon Weather ]
   
[ Sometimes It Rained ]
[ When She Got Angry & Hostile ]
[ What Did She Gain? ]
[ For Awhile? ]
[ Then She Would Refrain ]
[ From Giving You A Smile ]

[ Those Times Did Neither One Of Us A Bit Of Good, She Would Say ]
[ If It Was @ A Job ]
[ She Wouldn’t Have Earned Any Pay ]

[ But It Wasn’t, So You Could ]
[ Even If You Couldn’t ]
[ You Would ]

[ They’d Say, “Sorry, Mike” ]
[ “This Is Not The Best Way” ]
[ “To Earn Your Pay” ]
[ It Seemed Like That Night After Night ]
[ & Day After Day ]

[ You Were Concerned About How Does One Learn To Touch? ]
[ Not Too Little ]
[ Or Not Too Much? ]

[ How Does One Find The Balance Between The (2)? ]
[ You Could Throw A Shoe ]
[ But Wouldn’t That Be The Wrong Thing To Do? ]
[ Says, “She?” ]
[ Says Who? ]

[ But It Wouldn’t Be Hard ]
[ To Use The “UNO Reverse” Card ]

[ What Would That Mean ]
[ In The Bigger Scheme ]
[ Of Things? ]

[ Would It Mean Having A Clear Path? ]
[ In The Subject Of Math? ]
[ Or Being Given A Shield ]
[ From The Next Woman’s Wrath? ]

[ Would That Wrath Be Not Needed Or Unwanted? ]
[ So You Will Be Undaunted? ]

[ In The Face Of Evil ]
[ Trying To Stay Civil ]

[ Maybe, The Best Thing Would Be To Just Walk Away ]
[ Then See If It Really Mattered ]
[ When The Next Woman Chooses To Stay ]
[ Because You Don’t Like Feeling Battered ]

[ You Tore My Heart Out Of My Chest ]
[ & Just Threw It On The Ground ]
[ You Selfishly Thought That Would Be The Best ]
[ For Everybody Around ]

[ You Stand There Acting All Proud ]
[ While Talking Really Loud ]
[ To The Crowd ]

[ That Has Gathered Around You ]
[ Do You Really Think That You Are Getting Your
     Point Through? ]
[ By Telling Them What You Do? ]

[ To Others That You Think Are Not As Strong? ]
[ & You Never Think That Is Wrong? ]

[ Is Your Sense Of Humanity Gone? ]
[ Has Your Good Conscience Moved On? ]

[ This Has Stopped Being Fun ]
[ So Now I’ve Got To Run ]
[ Because It Looks Like This Relationship Is Done ]

[ No Need To Explain ]
[ I Don’t Want To Hear You Complain ]

[ Not Anymore ]
[ Why, For? ]
[ It Makes Me Want To Head For The Door ]

[ I Knew This Was What You Dread ]
[ But When You Decided To Crawl In Another Man’s Bed ]
[ I Really Questioned What Was Going On In Your Head ]
[ You Should Had Thought Of Me ]
[ But You Thought Of Him Instead ]
[ That Is Why In My Heart ]
[ You Are Dead ]

(087)▪︎[ Just Another Day … 1•24•2021 ]

[ Sometimes I Feel That I Am Alone Way Too Much ]
[ It Usually Starts Right After Lunch ]

[ I Do Like My Alone Time, So Don’t Get Me Wrong ]
[ A Couple Of Hours During The Day ]
[ But Not For This Long ]

[ Hours On Top Of Each Other ]
[ All Alone ]
[ Is Sometimes Worse Than Having Someone Here That
     Smothers ]

[ I Won’t Lie ]
[ But I Like Good Conversation As Much As The Next Guy ]
[ Not So Much Over The Phone ]
[ I Prefer It Being Eye To Eye ]

[ I Do Hear Distant Voices In The Background ]
[ But They Stay Over There ]
[ Because They Just Don’t Come Around ]

[ I Try To Be Happy ]
[ While Sitting By Myself ]
[ Watching My Steelers DVD’s ]

[ It Is Very Entertaining Watching Hour After Hour Of Steelers
     Football ]
[ I Won’t Stop Until I Have Watched Them All ]

[ I Love Watching My Steelers Win ]
[ Again, Again, Again & Again ]

[ I Would Love To Show & Share ]
[ [ With Another Person That Also Cares ]

[ Being Left Alone Is Not Considered As Time Well Spent ]
[ One Minute Feels Like An Hour ]
[ So It Doesn’t Make A Dent ]

[ Into The Many Hours That I Have Ahead Of Me ]
[ These Are Some Of The Things That I Think Of When I Feel
     Lonely ]

[ The Hectic Day Turned Into A Dark, Quiet Night ]
[ & The Wind Was Moving Oh So Slight ]

[ Licking Around The Windowsill ]
[ You Seem So Restless ]
[ You Are Having Problems Laying Still ]

[ To The Left, Than To The Right ]
[ You Keep Rolling Back & Forth In Your Sleepless
     Fight ]

[ Then You See The Lightning ]
[ Flash Across The Moonless Sky ]
[ You Decide To Stop The Fighting ]

[ You Start Your Sleepless Night Routine ]
[ You Have Been Doing Laps Around The House Since Your
     Early Teens ]

[ You Remember The Mornings When You Felt
     Really Ill ]
[ Those Were The Times When You Mixed Your Favorite
     Tequilla & Sleeping Pills ]


[ About 15 Years Ago Your Mind Was Very Hazy ]
[ & Your Thoughts Were Mostly Dark ]
[ Then You Stopped Being Depressed & Lazy ]

[ & Just Settled On Being Depressed ]
