A GIve For The Live
Do I have what it takes to give
To find out what it's like to live
With that one good person
Who I love most
And want to spend
The rest of my days
Alone with them
So yes I mean to say
I've never known the day
Where I lived with a love
Which means I'd be going
From zero to sixty
To live with one
When this I'd never done
Not even for a month
Which would have given me
A most heady high
Followed by
The lowest of lows
But seeing as
The odds I face
Have ever been
Yes painfully high
How but much
Should I give this any thought
When my history
Yes laughs at me
As often as it does
Aye it's a long sad case
Not because of my face
Though once I would have thought it was
Of me alone
Or the next worst thing
As the sweet good rain
To be poetically polite
Has been hellishly absent yes
Not just once
But twice alas
Which is a pain alas
To say the least
As many a stupid beast
Has grabbed a beauty
That would have done well with me
Though that is easier
Than proven yes
So it's surely rejected
By the court of love
That also laughs
Because it thinks
I'm too much woe is me
And I gotta be
Yes out there more
Forget that I'm poor
Not just in wealth
But charisma too
And just be myself
No worry not
Of things I can't control
And just try
To be the best good version
Of my fine self
That I can be indeed
So I asked myself
A goodly query
Of most import
To which I answered
At least in my head
That I think yes
Or I confess
I would have said enough
Some years ago
Because the words still flow
When I'm alone
Or in a similar state to that
With no possibility
Of my parole
And if that's true
That I have to give
To discover what it's like to live
With that one good person
All I gotta do
Is find her eh
And win her away
From some sad form
Of not with me
Aye that's all I gotta do
Like it's that easy
So why'd I not
Just do it before
Maybe I just needed
The right good partner
And didn't know
Who that could be
Not that I know her now
Just maybe I dream
A little brighter
For as both a writer
And a man
I'm ready for something more
And have it inside
Or it's just some wishful thinking
Because I got to drinking
And felt but free
To imagine me
With a her
That wants me so
Like such a thing there is
To which I say
Fucking eh
Why can't there be
Why can't there be indeed
