It Suits Me


I really don't care anymore
whether I see you or not,
I don't care what you think about
when you stop to have a thought.

It's too damn cold these days
and you're nothing to warm up to,
fuel costs too much to be out
running around, waiting on you.

I've too many things to do
to keep it warm at home,
now that I'm in my older age
I have no urge to roam.

But I thank you for the times
of passion, risk, and love,
and when I stop to have a thought,
that's just what I'm thinking of.

It's enough to make me smile,
to think of how I fell...
thinking on my feet now,
yeah, it suits me well.




A poem begins with a lump in the throat.

I wish sometimes that it was that easy for me to get someone out of my head. Overall I liked the poem, and was clear.

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "

"now that I'm in my older age

Come on now "Kid" life is just around the corner and you have miles to go before you can say "I'm too old". You are loved
