WHY DID I EVER LET HER GO
Writing in my notebook/novel I stumble over yet another block To complete this last unfinished paragraph Dig through boxes in my closet Searching for an inspiration, I happen across my favorite photograph Up on the steps outside my door Her friends, forgotten, wait below So the story goes Why did I ever let her go
Spend all morning at the mirror Erasing faces that my friends scribble on me Without bothering to ask I can draw my own conclusions Without wallowing in self-pity or hiding Behind a happy canvass mask The colors drop out of my hold I watch them crash and paint and flow And away they flow Why did I ever let her go
Trying to find a checkbook balance I keep losing concentration, The numbers don't add up the right amount One and one is none without one Missed that train again, I wonder Did I really leave on her account? As autumn leaves and winter snows All I can think as I fight off this cold Is goddamn, I'm cold Why did I ever let her go |
