Midlife Crisis

We have all heard the expression
Don't lose your head over a piece of tail.
Some have not experienced it yet,
Some of us know it all too well.

That giddy feeling when you have
caught someone's eye.
You go around with a smile on your face
And only you know why.

You want to shout about it
From the rooftops.
Midlife crisis stories are made from this galore,
Because you have been able to feel that spark
That reminds you of your youth once more.

You feel young and alive
Maybe for the last time in life.
You throw away the old for the new
Your old life, your children,
Your husband or your wife.

That last chance of feeling
That flutter in your heart.
It's like a drug
And you were hooked from the start.

Sometimes when it looks, sounds and feels
Too good to be true,
You will turn around one day
And realize you were just being used.

You threw everything that
you were sure of away.
To feel young again
But it only lasted a day.

No more smiles, no more flutters,
No one there when you get home.
You caused all that heartache
And now you are alone.

You succumbed to temptation.
Oh, if you only knew
That on down the road,
You would be the one who got *******.
