Premium Member Flagging

Shook up shaking
the bigot tree
loose nuts crushing 
they them me
crosses bashing
crosshair fit
I should know better 
but I just can’t quit.

Though the Banister

i know i should know better
but i don't you know i don't
the blood on you hands
is not on your hands
you can't even see it
because it's all over mine
just a child living a dream
i know i should know better
but i don't you know i don't

Premium Member Rhyme and Pun Ishment

i would love to have the chance to ask the dog star      are you Sirius?

John Tirious won't tell people his daughter's name      it's Miss Tirious

if i were fuzzy wuzzy and lost all my hair     i'd be furrious

when songwriters erase      are they "decomposing" or "delyrious"?


[i should know better than to dabble in such puns, after all i am a groan man]

Premium Member The Silent Treatment

how childish
how immature
but it gets me
through
the spell
where i'd like
to kill someone

blood pressure
through the roof
my head could explode
but at least
i’m not committing
any crime
or saying something
i cannot take back

i know i know
it's the easy way out
i'm not proud of it
i should know better
i'm just a coward
and a hypocrite

The Silent Kiss

At dawn,  
you graze my face 
tracing my jawline with your thumb to say:
“It’s nice to have someone here for once.”

I should know better than obsessing over men
whose attention doesn’t need begging 
stitching myself into bedsheets 
meant to be left half empty

but I guess you just get me. 

If home is a body,
I already sense aftershocks 
self-inflicted eviction setting in 
slipping away half asleep

dreading the inevitability of leaving.

I Gave You

I gave you the voice
I gave you the pen
I gave you the paper
To write a letter
To those who should know better
I gave you the hands
With which to plead
I gave you the tears
To show how much you hurt
I gave you the bruise
To show others what's done to you
I gave you the blood
For the injuries to bleed
I gave you belief
Beyond the life you live

I gave you the man
That's given you so much pain

Thank me for your lesson
And everything you gained

This Time

Here we go again this time.  Shaking my head in disgust. Fighting with myself to stay sane
Tugging and pulling thinking to myself what a damn shame
You should know better after all this time what the hell is the problem..
Where should I began because I have a lot of them
No longer a spring chicken and getting set in my ways
Health issues with hot flashes and depressing day
With thoughts of what I could've should've would've done if only I had ran the marathon .
