On my last nerve
Lately everything
You say and do gets
On my last nerve
Why is is now starting
To bug me so the way
You are used to not
Even chare how you
Acted used to not
Even recognise how
Much of a complainer
You were but not its
As if the blinders are
Off and I realize everything
That I used to be able
To ignore
A certificate of deposit love's purchase to prepare
Penning love's earnest with liberal flare
Inscribing title and documenting deed no meager fare
Tapping into literary vault of esteemed relics your assets to pare
Initiating votive contract no trite chare
For with your appreciating qualities can none compare
Each cuddly rhyme; each sentimental stare
Bonds my pen; binds our charming affair
Each bartered simile your value lays bare
Every metonymic expression love's affadavit will swear
Each titilating allusion; a lien your affections to ensnare
Each pawned metaphor our liabilities will pair
Every allegorical kiss my life's lease will square
Every affable alliteration increases your stock a share
My hyperbolic soliloquy your dividend will declare
My epilogue tendered, 'my devotion exchanged for your care'
Lost love oh,
Lost love,
Where ever have you gone,
Are you up are you down,
Should I search high,
Should I search low,
Where ever did you go,
I love you my lost love,
Why are you lost,
Why cant you come out of hiding,
Is it me,
Can you tell me,
Wisper it in my ear,
Im despite to hear,
Well when you come out I'll be sitting here,
In this dark blue chare.
