Sharlene Poems | Examples

So You Say

Do you say "Ouch" when you're all by yourself
   and there's no one to hear the pain?
Do you say "Oops!" when you're there all alone
   and you know the wine's gonna stain?
Do you say "I love you" when she walks in the door
   though you're actually hot for Sharlene?
Do you say "But what'll I do?" when she goes 
   out the door and doesn't come in again?
Do you say you're sorry when really you're not,
   but it's the only thing that'll do
To bring her back home to share in your lot
   of ouches and oopses, the old deja vu?
Do you say you love her because 
   that Sharlene has just shot through 
   with some other guy from the job?
Do you say that you love her a lot...
   and you've been all along 
   meaning to...?
Then do.
