Every time


Every Time

 

Every time I look out the front door .

There’s time to wonder how much more .

She showed me the road and left for the shore .

Took my best car and my friend bob , topped me off with the pug I adore .

 

So that was once in a thousand times , just like the thousand times before .

Why does making love always turn to unhinged war?

Feeling like I’ve got it down at night in the am limping and sore .

 

Certain women can’t be taught .

They’d never even consider  being bought.

It’s an affront their upstanding name .

Maybe they don’t want that kind of fame .

Ain’t no good guy aint no bad gal it’s just you and I and we don’t like just getting by .

 

Told myself that I was finally letting it all go go go .

There was a time when I ghosted this ho .

Time inside without a thought of her .

Here I’m fronting like my love is pure .

Well , it might be but that was many a script change ago .

Dangle me off a skyscraper I couldn’t say for sure .

 

Probably she knows I can’t stand to lose .

Figured I’d set her up for a fall .

That wasn’t my train of thought , not even at all .

At least that’s what I pretend to

Recall .

 

So I’m not heading on the road .

Ran out of shit to explode .

She’s not enamored of all the bright lights .

She wants to win more than to ever get it right .

Get her warmed up .... she’ll take your head off with delight .

I’m not impressed but there’s nothing left to do .

  

Certain women can’t be taught .

They’d never even consider  being bought.

It’s an affront their upstanding name .

Maybe they don’t want that kind of fame .

Ain’t no good guy aint no bad gal it’s just you and I and we don’t like just getting by .

Hey , it’s been a couple years in this site . Right now I’m just settling down and am going to work on getting out a better product . The stuff that is obviously trash will probably be booted. I really have no beef with anyone .... A lot of what I write is about working out a particular demon . A lot is about trying new methods based on the feedback on the poems . .

<p>Yeah .... this is both fiction and a lot of fact . The story of the one who loves you and you don&#39;t get it and by the time you do .... she&#39;s moved on and hasn&#39;t quite gotten around to tell you .</p>
