Zero At Love So Far
I don’t know just where to start.
I’ve left a trail of broken hearts.
Only problem, they’ve all been mine.
I get hurt by love every time.
Yet, I’m willing to try again.
Maybe this time I can win.
I have to learn how to play this game.
Or else, it will always be the same.
One more broken heart for sale.
I don’t want to tell that tale.
Round & round I go again.
There has got to be a way to win.
Maybe I should stack the deck.
Pad my hand to win the bet.
Yet, that just doesn’t seem fair.
It leaves honesty up in the air.
Mama always told me right from the start.
Don’t go around breaking little girls hearts.
Seems it never ends up that way.
My heart gets broken every day.
There is someone out there for me.
I must keep searching & try to see
if I can find her before I’m too old.
It’s hard to have faith & be so bold.
My record has been zilch so far.
Maybe I need a fancy car.
Maybe I need a face lift too.
What I really need is you.———————-R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
