Holiday Blues
The holidays were here and now they’re. gone.
You haven’t been loving in oh, so long.
On Christmas day it was like the good old times.
By the next day you were only a friend of mine.
The love and intimacy was totally missing.
Touching you was risky. forget about kissing.
Love is not something you can take off & put on.
It is either there or it is totally gone.
How your mind operates is beyond me.
Such kind of rapid changes just cannot be.
There is much more here than meets the eye.
You deny all, including there being another guy.
Let’s look at this from my point of view.
I love you more than you ever knew.
I would give anything to return to the past.
Back to the happy times I thought would last.
I feel the same. I don’t know about you?
No matter how I try there is nothing I can do.
Have you aged to where your libido has died?
Shriveled up and blew away like some old rag?
The answer must be known by a wiser man.
As for me,—– I just keep doing all I can.—–R. W. Johnson—–(2013)
