Measure For Measure

Measure for measure, even more, but it was never enough Still I look back with feelings of guilt even remorse A sad end to our trip I never knew it would be so rough I still think we always had what it takes, the right stuff But we went our separate ways and have stayed the course Measure for measure, even more, but it was never enough I guess you never expected me to call your final bluff I could not know you would react with such force A sad end to our trip I never knew it would be so rough I was destroyed a person always considering myself tough A hard lived life taking me to new lows even a divorce Measure for measure, even more, but it was never enough We were left damaged my demeanor now always gruff Not so easy to get back up when you fall of this horse A sad end to our trip I never knew it would be so rough Memories of the past often cause me to huff and puff I look for someone to blame, but I am the only source Measure for measure, even more, but it was never enough A sad end to our trip I never knew it would be so rough

you are a deep poet Wayland. I'm wondering, why measure the measurement of anything. In the end, the smallest measurement might be the judgement of them all... Anyways, Enjoyed this very much... SKAT

I'm somewhere in lala land while people are leaving comments. I thank you so much for your comment and we always measure things, no pun intended, lol. Sorry even in my current state couldn't resist. Your comment is very true though, who's to say what the standard is, that would just be another measurement in itself.

First run has sold out, 750 more copies on the way. My launch party is this weekend, hoping for a good turn out. If you have a kindle or e-reader you can order it on Amazon.ca or Amazon.com. So far the physical book is only being distributed in BC but I have sent copies to the states, Ontario and Quebec.
