Allan Granstrom Poet Heroic Couplet

"when!?"

Looks like now I have a lot of free time.
So I'm sitting here thinking about my crime.

Not the one that landed me in here.
But to the ones that I hold dear. 

It's the same old story I'm guilty as sin.
We've been down this road and I wonder when?

When am I going to turn this car around?
In and out of jail like a merry-go-round.

I'm actually glad this time I got locked up.
I needed time to see how much I mucked up.

You only hurt the ones you love
and saying sorry again just isn't good enough.

So I got down on my knees again
and God made me cry when He asked me,"WHEN!?"
