A skosh of allure,
will always do in a pinch,
when charms not handy.

Days turn into nights.
You're not here with me.
I'm a little child lost.
Frightened by all I see.
Angry words were said.
Our love is not in vain.
We must look ahead for now.
Outside I hear the rain.
Come back Into my arms.
Whisper that you care.
Make me feel the world is ours.
Kiss me if you dare.

If I closed my eyes
Or even died in my sleep
You I would still see.

You're not what I see
Dark and sordid history
Just a mystery

You're cruel to me
Like chewing gum you spit out.
*** stuck to your sole.

It does not take much.
To give a kind word or two
Compliments and such.

Didn't realize
When you said you'd love to help,
there'd be strings attached.

Shouldn't but I did.
Rummaged through your closet.
Found some skeletons.

I'll say I love you
And then I will bid you adieu
Cannot say "I do".

I am sixty one
I've had my day in the sun
From time I won't run.
