Why do I bother
and waste all my time
You love 68
But I deserve 69
Where is the love
that you promised me?
Where is our future?
That only you see
Where is the hope
I need you to give?
Where is the purpose
that I need to live?
Where is the goodtime?
to be had by all
Where is the net
to prevent my fall
Where is the conscience
that sleeps through the night
Where is my ally
to help me to fight
Where is my portion ?
of all that is due
Why is there one one slice
When there should be two
Where is the money
I gave you on loan
and why is it funny
When no meats on my bone?
Where is the value
of all that I'm worth
Did it ever occur
Just how much I got hurt
I've been by your side
Through thick and through thin
I've swallowed my pride
To let you back in
yet over and over
You give me much grief
And each time you leave
is such a relief
But hear what I say
Without any doubt
The next time you leave
I'm locking you out
Yes i'm losing weight
I'm trimming the fat
I'm dropping your butt
need my swagger back
see There's one earthen treasure
That outshines the sun
The only thing better than having a friend
Is learning the value of being one

But the memory of your lips still lingered.
Like a

I sit here alone, bottle in hand.
Watching the clock, turn into sand.
As my stare, penetrates the wall,
My regrets, like rain,
by AnnMarie McGovern-Theriault
If I had met you long ago,
A time when life had less to hide.
A time when simpler thoughts prevailed,
A pure and tender heart
by Emma Stone
Goodnight my Love
Goodnight my love the bleeding twilight dies swift
Overshadowed by night’s dark air brushed monotone
I see the sadness in your eyes
Give me a smile and no more cries
I've fought and lost. Death you have won
As I drift now towards
