Does it show? There’s naught within my makeup to show I’m just a fraud. But if you twist and shake up, you’ll find a mere façade. I’ve lied to pretty women and told them they’re the best. But then I’m simply human and bent on my own quest. To sample life’s great menu of joys we have at hand. To be, in my own venue, the leader of the band. But time and dust have taken their toll upon each bone. I find me rather shaken to live my life alone It’s not as though I wanted to spend my years this way. I found myself undaunted in times of youth and play. I think of some past lover and wonder if I made The rightful choice to cover my tracks as “bye” we bade I chose some troubled ladies with issues of reknown. Who wanted to be Sadies, a hawk inside a gown. My mind will start to darken if thoughts like these remain And so I long to hearken; some sign that I am sane. Yet once I chose a girl with flashing eye and mind. Who set my heart a whirl; for her I’d surely bind. ”It’s not my time for wedding”, she sadly said to me We parted without bedding; she needed to be free. But now I’d like to straighten your view about my ways I’ve found it worth the waitin’; relief in my old days. My lady came a callin’; my love from long ago And sure enough I’ve fallen. I wonder “Does it show?” Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

your writing doesn't need any help, if I may say...you're doing well on your own without us...yeah, I know..."us" makes it nicer to write. I assure though, you are independently stunning! |
