that dissolves its words behind it

Get banged, bruised  and survive
But we may never get a second chance
To rectify damages we've cause through

Premium Member Installments of Lost Time

You don't owe me anything---
not installments of lost time,
not a diamond ring.
We take our chances
on romance. Is
unrequited love a crime?

THE QUATERBACK II

It's not the quarterback's fault
If his team was given salt
Missed chances and dropped balls
Which created some walls
The other team went on full assault

Greasy dirty pig-like and obscene,
Gave her no chances, despicable queen.
Made fun of her dress.
Never had a caress.
Her filth was truly nothing to preen.
