Speaking in half truths just to build an ego

Is a clever way to lie to hide a false bravado

The lies told of me threw me into despair

With your faith in me I felt lighter than air

You said have no fear to always be brave

To speak my mind and not take it to my grave

You have no idea how much I appreciate

Your faith in me has opened new gates

I will never betray the friendship brought my way

You brighten my life today is a new day

You came back and wanted to end a feud

But you're such a manipulating dude

You said you wanted to come back to our life

It's too late I'm no longer your wife

My heart told me not to be scared

This time I was totally prepared

This critter comes but once a year

Flies through the June air to cause a little fear

My friend came to visit

Asked "What kind of bird is it"

With a great big chuckle

I had quite a laugh

For it's not a bird that flies in the air

But a great big Paloverde Bug looking to have an affair

She screams to him from the roots of the tree

Over here, over here, come see me

Happy to oblige cause when he's done

He can go in search of another one

I worked at the hospital but they laid us all off

Cut backs in health care it was just too much

We sat with the elderly to help keep them safe

Their confusion tends to make them unsafe

I've gone to college and learned a new trade

With my CNA training I can get back to aid

To work once again with the elderly and confused

I can still be around and keep them amused

Gray is now covering the top of my head

But I prefer to keep it a nice shade of red

You'd think my age would make me quite smart

But the gray fogs my brain I'm no longer alert

I made a bad choice to let you into my life

You broke my heart and caused me great strife

I can't stop the love that I'm feeling for you

But I choose not to like you as you are quite cruel
