where character counts and integrity is the keystone

I, Wrote

the hours roll by

Sitting alone on a candle lit nite,
Playing with my switch‑knife.
The hours roll by & I think of you ‑
Pretty & neat, & that angry look.

I try to bring happiness,
but a superficial smile only shows.
I don’t know how to get inside,
seems you keep your feelings tucked inside.

I’m only here to help &
make life easier;
but you seem to brush me off ‑
Am I not what you want?

We flirt back & forth,
but I don’t want to share you
with another ‑ for your
last month , I want you to be MINE!

Can’t sleep ‑ thinking of you,
how much fun we can have;
but I feel bad ‑ cause
another man you still have.

I feel like I’m competing
for your affections.
I’d rather let him have you
than start a big fight.

It’s up to you!!
