Songs and Poems

by Doug Midgley

 

I know you've had songs and poems written for you

And I'm sure my juvenile attempt will fall short of impressing you

But like a job you've got to quit

You won't get nowhere until you admit

You either gave a shit, tried, or you didn't

I guess that's all that I'm doing now

​

You may be right

We can't be friends

We must both forget 

And start anew

But mixed reactions grip my mind

Then you tell me what to do

And then at last but not least

It's all over

​

Alright you already won

I'm forced to acquiesce

I'll do whatever you think 

Is best

​

You may be right

We can't be friends

We must both forget 

And start anew

But mixed reactions grip my mind

Then you tell me what to do

And then at last but not least

It's all over

​

A new dawn a new day

And you're still in my thoughts

No wink, no smile, no words to exchange

I guess I've got the gist

You want to act like I didn't exist

Leave our life behind, sigh, and forget it

I guess that's all that I can do now
