    She Used To Be Mine

     See how I follow all these

    Things that I believe to be true?

    I still fear that I would die before

    I learn how to make love to you;

    I look out from my window and

    See this bitter struggle to be loved,

    All the ways I try to forget it all,

    All the things these thoughts are made of;

    Love is a part I play in a

    Story that I do not know,

    The players cross this stage without a word

    Towards a destination where I may never go;

    I see a sign through my mind

    And I’ll know forever that she used to be mine;

     

    They pray for forgiveness at the

    River of the ever flowing blood of Christ

    Then they quote the good book in

    Hopes that the world will label them wise;

    She died for mans sin without

    A flickering bit of hope to gain,

    God pissed into the clouds and for a

    Whole damn month it began to rain;

    It’s getting late now,

    There’s nothing left to philosophize,

    We’ve stayed up long enough adding

    To our histories never ending lies;

    After drinking this wine,

    Just her memory will be fine,

    It was good enough that she used to be mine;

     

    We war with god and kill each other

    But their passing will never hurt me,

    I stand and remember those that have

    Passed and their lies that made me see;

    I read the pages that tell the true

    Story of how Wyatt Earp was a crook,

    He was a hero for so long until people

    Opened their eyes and read the book;

    She drugged me until I was docile

    Thinking my rebellion was through,

    But I’ll never conform because I

    Grow my marijuana and smoke it too;

    She crossed the line and committed a crime

    And wrote me saying how she used to be mine.

    Dang, can you write! "I still fear that I would die before, I learn how to make love to you" we all wonder what to do when there is no script? You've written this with depth and insight.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
