Cheese and Whine

I use to think I had it all Now I hope you trip and fall All you do is put me down I walk around with a big frown I used to think you cared How could life be so unfair Years later I'm still here " Waiting" on you my dear Why am I still here? I know it can't be fear Maybe I'm just used to a fool That barely passed high school As I watch you lay your head I'm picturing our old class mate Fred I wish I had the nerve to leave Or I had a devious trick up my sleeve Oh darn you are about to wake And I become a actress and fake, fake, fake. 07-30-16 For the Cheese And Whin contest Sponsor: Phillip Garcia

Many people saddened and regretful about the body next to them, have these thoughts that you summed up so cleverly with brevity, and humor. The early morning compromise with reality is well laid out and I enjoyed this write that I have lived! CayCay
