Exhausted on every level
They lay entwined in deepest slumber
And slept til dawn appeared
My God, were they in lumber!
During idle thoughts
As he watched dusk take over the day
Came into his mind that dreaded woman
The one he shouldn’t have let get away.
Thoughts of a promised wonderland
Years of planning gone to waste
Only playing second fiddle
As back home, he always raced.

He could see all too clearly now,
that what he had mistaken for love
was no more than need on her part.
She’d used him as an emotional lever
and consequently broken his heart.

The late night prancer
The single girls dream
The compulsive chancer
The cat that got the cream
The married romancer
Go home, you fool – redeem.
It’s true that opposites attract
and open up avenues to each other.
But when the differences are too great,
sometimes the effort isn’t worth the bother.

Heaven was in the back seat of his limousine,
until a late night voyeur appeared on the scene.
‘It won’t last’ they said.
‘You’re too young’ they said.
‘You haven’t had a life’ they said.
‘You’re all off your head’ she said
and with him – fled.

When asked what she was thinking
about, she would always reply ‘nothing’.
But it was apparent that this ‘nothing’ had
taken over her heart and mind.
For the more she thought about ‘nothing’
it seemed the truth she was hiding behind,
and that someone, lost in her past, she
constantly thought about and pined.

There comes a time
to set aside boyish dreams,
and take on a princess
to share your schemes.
There comes a time
and that time is now,
so from adolescence
take a bow.
