you'll do what you've always done-
stay too long
pretending you're a suitor
or a knight in shining armor
and i'm a damsel
in this dress what a mess

we've made of things-
you've been content to play
the part of an ill-suited lover
in a prime-time sitcom and
i've been swiftly blown about
wearing my heart on my sleeve

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

We can`t blame the shark for it`s biting, or the scorpion for it`s sting... be careful what you handle, it will do what it`s always done.     Fine write, faith!  The title is catchy.
