Seems Like My Sooner Than Later Was Your Last Time




My needs are simplistic
He said they weren’t realistic
And because he dismissed it
I went ballistic

Seems like…

The more I sought
The more he fought
To dodge my emotions like a sport

I wanted to spend quality time
He’d rather hang with the fellas and get fried
Cheeks salty from the tears I cried
No longer could I trust him
He done told too many lies

Seems like…

The more I sought
The more he fought
To dodge my emotions like a sport

Sooner than later…

I found out
What I would
Was that I shouldn’t
And what he should
Was that he couldn’t

Last time…

He came around
He was the one down
His smiles soon reverted to a frown
Now who looks like a clown?

Last time…

I‘d be kicked in the rear
No longer will I shed a tear
Long gone are those blind episodes
I got a new flash
Now the pictures clear.

Seems Like my Sooner than Later was your Last Time…

TOO HASTY

I met a fine man
He was clean as a slate
But his spirit was somewhat full
So I said, "What's on your plate?"


He said, "I was served the wrong meal.
Didn't check to see what was the deal
Should not have bitten this thing
Now pain is all I feel."


He said, "It looked appetizing
This entrée was pleasing to the eye
I just couldn't pass it by


"So of course, I had to investigate
Yes, I gave it a taste
However, to my surprise it was bland
It was a big waste"

I told him, "You gotta take your time; don't fall for infatuations spell"
He asked me, "How could you tell? I said, "Because unseasoned meals seldom proveth well.
