You Don’t Get a Vote

June 18, 2017

See that messed up
Couple over there?
She’s got a million tats
And he never cuts his hair

Can’t you just be happy
They have one another?
Can’t you be happy
They found love with each other?

What could those people
Ever see in each other?
She’s the wrong age
And he’s the wrong color

If you got a comment
Just keep it in your throat
It isn’t your life
You don’t get a vote

So wrong for each other
Just headed for trouble
It really makes me sad
When the wrong people couple

In this crazy old world
It ain’t easy to stay warm
Can’t you just be happy
They found shelter from the storm?

fog

June 10, 2017

My guts are bleeding
My anatomy’s afire
The fog is receding
I’m a loser and a liar

Takes a toll on my health
When I pretend to be ok
Been lying to myself
Since I sent you away

Alone in my room
A wayward little boy
Living on the fumes
Of the love I destroyed

I Never Realized

June 3, 2017

Never liked anyone
More than I like you
But keeping us together
Was more than I could do

Never lost anything
More lovable than you
I’m less than a man
For what I put you through

Paying the price
For being a dunce
True Love ain’t a thing
That happens more than once

delicate and true

April 29, 2017

I’m glad you let me love you
I hope you let me see
All the things you wanna do
And what you wanna be

I’ll get down on hands and knees
I’ll dig your heart a moat
I’ll cover all your tender parts
Wear me like a coat

Tell me what you want to be
I’ll show you what I mean
I’ll protect your eager heart
And defend your thirsty dreams

Allow me to acknowledge
Everything I get from you
And trust me with the part of you
That’s delicate and true

The Ghost of Our Love

April 8, 2017

After all the things I done
I can never hurt enough
It ain’t my conscience talking
It’s the ghost of our love

I wake up in evening
Feel you breathing on my skin
Just the ghost of our love
It’s teasing me again

The ghost of our love
Is laughing in my face
Every time I try and find
Somebody to replace it

The ghost of our love
Reminds me all the time
I’m just another scoundrel
Who cannot face my crime

a thousand wrong turns

March 19, 2017

I tried to feed a hunger
That grew and grew
I climbed a million mountains
For that perfect view

Never knew where I was going
But I kept pushing through
Till a thousand wrong turns
Led me to you

Been a lotta places
Where the wind blows cold
I never take advice
I don’t do what I’m told

Ended with a prize
Amazing to behold
I chased a million rainbows
And you’re my pot of gold

The piece of me that’s you

February 13, 2017

zzzzzspacedust

Another crazy turbid day
What can I do?
What can I say?

Whenever life gets
Wayward and askew
I always listen to
The piece of me that’s you

Science teacher
Says it’s true
I’m never
Far away from you

Molecules
Way out in space
Connect right to
The human race

It’s nice to know
We’re part of every star
And the piece of you that’s me
Is never far

Last Day on Earth (A Love Song)

February 2, 2017

zzasteroid

I dreamed the world was ending
So I called you up to see
If you wanted to spend
Your final day with me
You checked all your appointments
Lucky you were free
You didn’t have another
Place to be

We agreed to get together
In a warm and cozy space
A quiet little room
With a big fireplace
We didn’t want distractions
From the human race
With an asteroid approaching
From outer space

You threw your arms around me
You asked me why
I had waited so long
To give us a try
I felt so stupid
I wanted to cry
Then my alarm went off
And I opened my eyes

Can’t Wait to Get Home and Get Ready for You

January 24, 2017

zzsallynixon

This silly job sucks
My boss is a turd
Every time he turns his back
I flip him the bird

Got a tight little dress
Got some brand new shoes
Can’t wait to get home
And get ready for you

Gonna get myself ready
Gonna powder my skin
Gonna take you some places
That you ain’t never been

I got three kinds of lotion
Orange blossom shampoo
Can’t wait to get home
And get ready for you

Got some new stockings
And some lingerie
Don’t say nothing stupid
It could be your lucky day

You won’t stand a chance
When I’m finally though
Can’t wait to get home
And get ready for you

The best part of my day

January 15, 2017

The best part of my day
Is your smile

And your grace and your glamour
And your style

The best part of my day
Is your smile

Your countenance
Lights up a country mile

The best part of my day
Is your smile

Reminding me that
Life can be worthwhile

The best part of my day
Is your smile

And your laughter and your
Voice that beguile

The best part of my day
Is your smile

So won’t you set and
Visit for a while?
