Persistence
I don’t want to get up in the morning.
I just want to lay here in bed.
Life anymore is so boring.
I can’t get her out of my head.
I tried to be what she wanted of me.
I tried to be someone I’m not.
Only I found that all I could be
Is myself, who was lacking a lot.
And every hour I crave you.
I want you with all of my heart.
I would act like the fool.
I would act like I’m smart.
I would lay open my heart.
But, all I get is rejection.
Nothing to soften the blow.
A lot like a crooked election.
Am I on my way out of the show?
I understand what has happened.
I know now why were apart.
Nothing to do with old fashioned.
My heart was dead from the start.
I drag out of bed and get dressed.
I look at myself in the mirror.
I certainly don’t look my best.
That much is definitely clear.
What must I do to be with her?
I have to get myself straight.
Whatever I do, I must be sure.
It’s going to be something great!!
That much must be made clear.
It has to be more than a date.
I will whisper my love in her ear.
She will see that my love cannot wait.——-R. W. Johnson —–(2012)
