    One Way



    One to many times I've left, the one I love behind.
    She said she would always love me, I guess she changed her mind!
    My ring told me forever, her lips told me goodbye.
    Too many nights of being alone, her needs not satisfied.

    It's one way up and one way down, a steady fall from grace.
    The stage life makes me happy, as the tears run down my face.
    One way I'm going to keep her, either way the dreams will end.
    It's one hell of a sacrifice, to pick up the pieces again.

    A drumbeat and a microphone, have been my mistress in the night.
    I've never held another, but her wrong don't make it right.
    I love away the hours, in every town I play.
    With a guitar and a little stool, I sit at center stage.

    Now, it's one way up and one way down, a steady fall from grace.
    The stage life makes me happy, as the tears run down face.
    One way I'm going to keep her, either way the dream will end.
    It's one hell of a sacrifice, to pick up the pieces again.

    The twist and turns to stardom, can have a price to high to pay.
    When you see the ride is over and the two way street turns, "One Way"!

    It's refreshing for a woman to, if not hear, at least read about a mans true feelings.

    Thank you for your kind comment, I've always expressed my feelings in my poetry, so a lot of what you read is me.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
