Oh Me, Oh My

Oh me,Oh My

Here I am sitting in this corner, 
Wondering where my baby could be, 
I am once again a loner 
My little baby I just cannot see. 
She said she was going for a bite to eat.
 I went ahead and picked us two seats. 
I said,"Darling you know where to find me 
It is where we always watch the matinee.
 She promised to be back in the twinkle of an eye 
But I soon found out,her promise was a little white lie 
Oh me,Oh my,my baby why?  

 I waited and waited for her to come back 
Time was slipping fast 
I wondered if she had fainted 
Had a heart attack 
Or if she had to spend some time 
just to pay the cost
 Oh me,Oh my,my baby why?   

By now the show had started 
And I was now downhearted 
I just wanted her close to me 
Just like a kitten and its flea 
I decided to sit tight till the break 
Then a further decision I'll have to make 
Should I send out an sos 
Or her fidelity I got to trust  
Oh me,oh my,my baby why?   

At the start of the break the lights came on 
They shone from above,like a midday sun 
Making it easy for all to see 
my little baby where she shouldn't be 
She was entwined in someones arm 
Her clothes were like sails in a storm
 What my eyes didn't see the darkness did censure. 
Where his lips did go,his hands did venture. 

I beckoned her to come to me
 I guess why she was there she just couldn't see. 
The lights were out,the place was dark 
She was just like Noah, without his ark. 
She looked at me and turned her back 
Then shout out, I have given you the sack. 
Oh me,Oh my, my baby why?

This must have been a hurting experience? It is so tearful. I think I would have cried. I like this writing a lot. It made me think.

Its not actually true , but was inspired by a visit to a cinema on a first date. I would not have cried, I would probably have fought.lol
