Hey There Pretty Girl

Hey there pretty girl,
You don’t need him,
When those beautiful smiles,
Turn into frowns.

Hey there pretty girl,
He only uses you,
To get closer to those,
Who will only laugh you down.

He gets himself ahead,
With a pretty face at his side,
Pleasing your animal needs,
But that isn’t your only side.

In what you find as love,
He knows as convenience,
And your heart is left standing,
Out there in the cold.

And as the circus rolls into town,
You are close beside him,
Only for him to reach into your chest,
And pull out your heart.

He waits for the elephants to pass,
And he throws your heart out,
Only to be trampled,
So he wouldn’t have to fulfill it.

He’ll pump you full of kids,
And you’re his forever,
Or until he’s done,
And you’re left with the litter.

Don’t believe me?
It’s happened before,
A different couple,
A different time.

I don’t want that to happen to you,
I want you to find a good one,
Or find me,
Who sees your heart in the cold,
And lets it sit by their fire.

Washboard Blues

My favourite saying of late Is that I wanna cry. The world has been crumbling around The people The state of affairs The disbelief. I say the words Jokingly But there's a piece of me That would kindly accept A tear... Or two. There have been more days Than less That I could use a reset button. I would start it all again, There are times where I regret Everything. If I wanted to live with no regrets I probably could have done more I probably could have said more I should have meant more. Morbidity Mortality Time... All things weighing me down. There's this sudden end It's coming soon Sooner for some Not soon enough for others But it's coming. If I was to go right now Away Gone Left it all behind... I don't want anyone to think of me After the fact. I don't think many will Some might A passing glance Something to do But I'll be gone Somewhere more To where I'm supposed to be. Africa Asia Europe Or Beyond. I haven't quite decided Yet But I will.

Snowy Interval

Our winter is right around the corner And the thought takes me back To when we found ourselves Last time around In the coldest of days. Even in those harshest of elements In the coldest of all the months I couldn't feel the chill Because between your smile and your words They were the best of days. And just like the unpredictable Alberta weather The storms rolled in I tried to stand my ground Withstand the worst of what it could throw Until I found the peace to know the storm was me. The summer months were devastating The air was dry The sun was unrelenting It was a record year But the chill in the empty hole was all I knew. The leaves have been falling awhile The mind wanders when unchecked Smelling the weather changing Has the heart reeling For another one of those great snowy intervals.

Not Yet

I'm trying to resist It shouldn't really happen I don't even know for sure. It's a good thing Not knowing keeps me from falling Too far from too much.
