It Just Can't Be

He sang aloud the whole night long
And messed with each and every song
He changed the words to reflect his past love
Doing a monologue of Michael and his one glove

The words he changed that referred to me
Had no emotions that I could see
They all seem to be just a slam
And he didn't appear to give a damn

Early on I tried to be romantic and attentive
But it was so hard since he remained so pensive
Not one glance did he throw my way
And not one word did he ever say

I made sure I kept a smile on my face
Although I was merely staring off in space
Compliments and good cheer I tried to give
But all conversation was rather short-lived

I put down these words of rhymes for a while
And took a trip in my mind crossing many miles
I just knew if I went far and then wide
The truth would end up with nowhere to hide

The problem with looking in all those dark places
Is sometimes all you find is ugly faces
When at last his feelings he let through
I felt it was him that I should soothe

He had already had that love of a lifetime
A love for him that would always shine
Love will never again for him be so deep
And from that pinnacle he would never again leap

He claims his love for me is strong
And he says I never really do anything wrong
And he sees all my efforts to do everything right
But our love will never shine as bright

Now with all the memories stirred
I can see his thoughts turn back to her
Scraps from their life you can see everywhere
There's even an old letter he keeps in his chair

I just don't know how long I can go on
But my love continues to be ever strong
Just when I think there may be some light
One look in his eye and I see him flight

When laying in our bed moving with love
Our bodies fit together better than gloves
With all that I give in kisses and hugs
It only hurts more when it's met with a shrug

When we are through with those loving actions
And our bodies are filled with such satisfaction
He turns away from me and faces the wall
And I know too soon comes another fall

We'll never have that greatest of love after all
For he's given it a name and Debbie she's called
Do I give him what he just can't give back
Or has the time come to simply hit the tracks

You are listening to Dark Side by Eddie and The Cruisers.
I have such an eclectic taste in music that it is hard for me
to pick just the right song but this one seems appropriate.
I really like the movie and the music but this site
is about my slip into the dark side!

All poetry presented here is original works of art written by me.
Please do not recreate any of them without expressed permission from me.
My inspiration was my pain and as such is quite personal.
It is my soul that is bared through these words.
