The Missing B

That girl was always such an itch She affected me deep down In a place I could never scratch She made my heart eat Faster than a locomotive Yet it was never ever satisfied There is a missing room That sweeps through my memories We had spent many hours there I thought she was right She illuminated the room Yet I was covered in her darkness She could not lend Her thoughts too precious We were always oil and water

I spotted the missing 'b', though it works well without either of them, clever piece of thinking. Take care, Richard

The clues not exactly in the title is it Rick lol. Can't believe this is nearly six months ago, time does fly.

yes some people are just this way for us. I really enjoyed this one. Reminds me of the B in apartment B tv sitcom.

It's amazing the difference one simple letter can make, eh? "Oil and water"...this is why oil is no good for the skin. Except French fries.......but, I digress. Great piece!!!
