(549)▪︎[ Another Day … 2024 ]

[ 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 ]

(874)▪︎[ She Did Not Start Out That Way … 10•15•2021 ]

[ Sometimes We Want To Believe People Are Something
     That They Are Not ]
[ Especially When They Are Put On The Spot ]

[ By The Time That You Open Up That Gate ]
[ You Then Look Around & Realize That It Was Too Late ]

[ You Let Her In ]
[ Because You Thought That She Would Be A Friend ]

[ She Would Send You A Friendly Text ]
[ & You Would Believe What She Wrote ]
[ Only To Eventually Find That She Talks Out Of Both Sides
     Of Her Neck ]

[ You Found Out How She Can Lie Really Smooth ]
[ It Is When She Makes Her Lips Move ]

[ That Was Not Figured Out Early Enough ]
[ Making Her Exit Really Rough ]

[ Why Did She Do, What She Did? ]
[ She Ended Up Acting Like A Spoiled Rotten Little Kid ]

[ Thinking She Has PTSD Because Of Trauma ]
[ It Was More Like She Has Bad Memories ]
[ Of Some Personal Drama ]

[ She Has No Idea What It Feels Like To Experience A
     Flashback ]
[ So All That She Does Is Talk Alot Of Smack! ]

[ You Welcomed Her Into Your House ]
[ She Ate Your Food, Accepted Your Gifts ]
[ Then Turned Into Quite The Big Louse ]

[ You Showed Her Empathy ]
[ Now You Would Not Even Show Her An Ounce Of Pity ]

[ One Thing Is Very Sure ]
[ You Have No Idea What Happened Between You & Her ]

[ One Morning You Were This & Then You Were That ]
[ She Changed As Quick As It Takes To Switch A Hat ]

[ You Really Thought That She Was Something ]
[ But Then She Went & Did A Dumb Thing ]

[ Her Personality Hit A Low Note ]
[ When She Went & Rocked The Boat ]

[ Everything She Stood For, She Denied ]
[ When She Abruptly Switched Side ]

[ But, Yes She Is Missed A Day Here & A Day There ]
[ Wherever She Calls Home, You Don’t Know Where ]
[ But Then Again … Most Days You Really Do Not Care ]

[ Oh Well ]
[ Another Effort Shot To Hell ]

[ There Will Be More ]
[ On The Other Side Of Your Front Door ]

(1153)▪︎[ Anger … 12•30•2020 ]

[ Anger Seems To Be Directly Part Of My Life ]
[ Be It @ Me ]
[ Or From Me ]
[ Affecting My Son Or My Wife ]

[ Names Can Be Called Or Felt ]
[ It Can Feel Like ]
[ The Tightening Of A Belt ]

[ Either Way, It Hurts ]
[ Easy To Feel & Give ]
[ As If It Is Pulling Off My Shirt ]

[ Anger Can Tear Couples & Families Apart ]
[ Some Angry Comments ]
[ Are Meant To Pierce The Heart ]

[ Or Are They Meant? ]
[ To Stay In The Head ]
[ Instead? ]

[ Either Reason Or Way ]
[ Piercing Words ]
[ Find A Way To Stay ]
[ & Be Heard ]

[ Ping Ponging Back & Forth ]
[ Heading South ]
[ Then Heading North ]
