Staggering Down The Avenue

Love will transform today in to tomorrow

Love will leave your heart feeling hollow

Love will make you beg, steal, and borrow

Love will be a hard act to follow,

Wearing your heart on your sleeve

Won’t get you a reprieve

Only insults over your lover’s pet peeves

Love is the illusion that you conceived,

Love might be the ultimate moment in your life

Somehow uplifts you from all of the strife

Then one day you find it cuts like a knife

That’s when you find you’ve got a new Ex-wife,

Sadness sets in with a pain you never knew

Was it all your fault did you just misconstrue

Just another lost soul staggering down the avenue

Why couldn’t you have been just one of the lucky few?

If only I could turn back the hands of time

Repair my heart like the words in this rhyme

Tears that torment me like sweat and grime

Seems my fate changed on the turn of a dime,

The mirage is more alluring than reality

Like the absence of water in the Salton Sea

She carried the water that I thought would save me

The Devil intervened and now I can’t be free,

Love seems like the ultimate pie in the sky

Then you find it’s just a white lie

She made you happy she made you cry

The facts are there you cannot deny,

I honestly thought I’d never love again

That changed when we stopped being friends

You always loved to condescend

It’s okay Dear maybe I’m getting near the end.
