How Many Time

Lost in desire,
Swimming in hope.
I’d rather be there then here
But here I am stuck.
~
When again and again
You are lied to
And betrayed
When do you give up?
~
When you love a runner
How long do you wait?
How many time do you try?
How many fool’s errands do you run?
~
Hope springs eternal,
But the pain of disappointment
Belongs to you
For you know the history.
~
How many times
Are you going to repeat it?
Before you learn it by heart,
And will that help when you do?
~
As Bobby said,
“The answer my friend
Is blowing in the wind,
The answer is blowing in the wind”
~
How many time
Are you going to walk
Down this road
Before you take a different path?
~
Like Charley Brown
Letting Lucy set him up
He fall again and again
As she snatches the ball away.
~
If it is not this
It is that!
One reason after another
For why she ran.
~
Regardless of the reason
The results are the same,
She is gone
And you are alone.
~
Tears burn your eyes
As you realize
Once again
You were fooled.
~
Into believing that
This time it would be different,
This time it would work,
And still in your heart
~
You say, “If I had
Did this, or that
Things would have been deferent”
Oh you poor lost fool.
~
You are doomed,
There is no hope for you.
You cannot be happy without her,
And she cannot stay with you.
~
True, love can bring
Heaven on earth,
But just as true
Is the hell it can create.
~
You may as well
Just go cry in your beer
As you listen to an
Somebody did somebody wrong song.
