I used to fall for her,
head over heels,
but somehow I let us,
get off on the wrong foot,
because I didn't put my best foot forward,
enough times to save face,
and it didn't take an army full of men and women,
in about face to know they set up there own fate.
but of all the wars best spy,
none have gotten the chance to spy on your eyes,
eyes of sparkles and love though light,
but you don't know that when I see you everything seems alright,
even though it will cost me an arm and a leg,
to get close to you and I'm greeted with a cold shoulder,
when I just want your open arms,
to be meant for me,
meant for just holding my body,
to hold not just our body's but souls closely,
but I have to keep my nose clean,
and stop my tears and sniffling,
I will start by keeping my chin up,
and playing my life by ear,
for I wasted all these years on you,
so I need to bid these thought of you "farewell"
