The Contest Endless hours sitting here Waiting for you to call The phone brings its deadly ring My world begins to fall Positive-the results came back And now our lives have changed When only days ago we laughed Life is now so deranged There is no way this can be true No way something this bad can be We lived our lives about the same Yet now you have HIV You’ve been my best friend all my life We have done everything together The thought that I could loose you now I thought we would live forever The list we must make…it makes me sad We slept with so many guys Our contest in fun is now a sad truth In the end here somebody dies We were young and having the time of our life Until you began to get sick I cannot believe this is all true Please let it be a mean trick A contest, that contest, it makes me ill I can’t believe what we’ve done Something is taking you away from me It was supposed to just be for fun Newly divorced, and broken hearted We thought we’d give free love a chance Make sex a game to protect us from hurt We could live without romance But live you may not, why is it you How did it not happen to me? My friend I love you, I am so sorry How can this possibly be I’m sitting so numb, the words still ringing My life feels so full of dread Your children, your family, what did we do You have so much still ahead I guess the moral for all of those out there Be careful, I’ve learned something true Make sex be for love, make love be for life Or this could happen to you. ------------------ Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |
