I Wish I Knew
I remember on that night
When the time bomb went kaboom!
I wish we never did what we had to do
For i never knew it was a sign of doom.
Before we stuck to each other like glue
But recently it's like we've changed all the rules.
You take me for a broom
Whose work is to sweep for other brides,and you
The only man I love on the scene acting the groom.
Why did I ever allow your two scouts to go on
Exploring beyond my hair,
Down my neck,over the hills,
Vertically over my back to the higher mountains.
Reaching their destination the commander took over..........
It was to overwhelming I couldn't resist
But why then play the beast?
In your list placing me the least.
If only I had foreseen through this mist,
I wouldn't be living in this unforgiving world
Of saying I wish I knew.
