\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What About Me?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I saw you from across the room.<\/p>\n

Walking in a cloud of gloom.<\/p>\n

Your smile usually lit up a room.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s gone now. Much too soon.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been your friend for a long time.<\/p>\n

I knew that guy wasn\u2019t your kind.<\/p>\n

You thought he was the special one.<\/p>\n

Then he dumped you just for fun.<\/p>\n

Now you are down in the dumps.<\/p>\n

You wonder how he could be such a chump.<\/p>\n

As your friend I know you did the same.<\/p>\n

For years you acted just as insane.<\/p>\n

Dumping one man after another.<\/p>\n

I know. I am not your mother.<\/p>\n

I know you were searching for \u2018Mr. Right\u2019.<\/p>\n

You thought this last guy was out of sight.<\/p>\n

You thought you finally found him.<\/p>\n

Now, you are looking pretty grim.<\/p>\n

Many men in your past felt the same.<\/p>\n

They were serious,—– to you, a game.<\/p>\n

They were dumped without a thought.<\/p>\n

Now you see just what you wrought.<\/p>\n

What comes around goes around.<\/p>\n

Karma has knocked you to the ground.<\/p>\n

Maybe you have looked to far and wide.<\/p>\n

When he was here right by your side.<\/p>\n

I am your friend, as you can see.<\/p>\n

Yet I ask the question. What about me?—–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
