Woman Gone Blues

Girls just/
Wanna have fun/
Nothing too serious/
Stress response run/

Can’t get away from/
Always seems to follow/
Peace with no one’s son/
Love will wax to sorrow/

Perhaps it is tomorrow/
Surely wasn’t yesterday/
Afraid, confused, and hollow/
Protected heart, tucked away/

Function follows form/
At least, I suppose/
The accepted norm/
A King with no clothes/

But Girl I cannot lie to you/
And so I struggle on/
Can’t see the love I try to do/
No snuggle. Woman gone/

Join me in the present tense/
This ain’t no war. Won’t shoot’cha/
Misplaced anger makes no sense/
Instead lets write our future/

Can be no love/
Without the trust/
Push come to shove/
Hold fast to us/
