True but still funny. A typical cops night.


Dumb Love/Drunk Love

Today I tried to call you
You didn't pick up the phone
I drove bye and saw his car
And knew you weren't alone

I tried to call you one more time
While I stood outside your door
You pretended not to hear my call
And ignored me even more

I decided I would go out back
Throw stones and sing a song
Serenade you with my words
And prove my love once more

You opened up your window
Screamed, please leave me alone
But I know what you wanted
Was for me to keep on going

That guy inside I didnt know
Came out and said to leave
He had something in his hands
What it was, I could not see

I heard you scream into the night
Leave now or you will die
Thats when I saw he had a gun
And the fire in his eyes

I saw a flash and heard a bang
Then I decided I should run
Thats when I knew my love for you
Was over and now done

I saw the lights as the cop's arrived
And watched them search for me
Then I realized that where you lived
Was over one more street

"Time well Spent

While I prayed one night on my knees
I ended with I love you lord, oh yes indeed.
A shiver ran down my spine
“how do you love me it said”.
And I could not reply.

How do you love someone who isnt there?
Not a word or sound is uttered when I’m in despair.
No touch no sight
No bright light.
No warm hugs to soothe me at night
Only walls of solitude where they all once stood.

Then it came to be..
How I loved; and whom? Oh yes by far..
So many loves lost to the stars.
And have I loved all therein?
A creeping death gave way as I searched within.

So many loves have scattered in the breeze…
What do I know of love and how its to be?
I knelt before the light
Took in its Godly might.
In time through toiled hands
Through books and good works by my fellow man.
God came to BE and then HE made me SEE.
Even when a heart is broken ten fold,
Love is a choice, through flaws that end and break.
Its stirs and strikes like the venom of a snake!
Be weary else nothing will ever fall in its place.
Peace at once, at last I know..

Through work I’ve known
Through the books I’m told
Through time well spent..
I’ve come to know the Christ, but least yet,

Oh, how I’ve loved and so I say
I love you Lord, now and forever..
Come what may.
