I just knew
it was the bandana that did it
& not my rugged-ways.
I take the full blame,
it was not your twinkling eyes,
nor the soft kisses you gave me
up & down
my aching body.
Your lovely pert *******
made no difference
& the way you held
me did not matter,
'cause someday
I just knew,
you might scatter.
The fresh fragrance
of your flawless skin
was of no consequence
& your sweet taste
was no big thrill.
O yes Lil' Darling
I do confess,
you did steal my heart,
you killed me
with your lady-finesse,
but I just knew,
if I could blame it
on my paisley scarf,
it would make it easier
when you left.
Lord knows,
how much
I miss you.
