\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tragic Love<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lately I\u2019ve been thinking about things that aren\u2019t right.<\/p>\n

About the way we argue. Then break up for a night.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s a week or more. Then you\u2019ll come on back.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always the same. You\u2019re not to blame for all of that.<\/p>\n

No matter what you say or do. It will always be me.<\/p>\n

Obviously, I\u2019m not to blame. But, that\u2019s not what you see.<\/p>\n

Things get turned around. It\u2019s always me to blame.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not ever your fault. Even when it\u2019s been the same.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But I must say all in all<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a good life after all.<\/p>\n

Despite all the fights and pain.<\/p>\n

When things are going good.<\/p>\n

And you treat me like you should.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s better than\u00a0 any other game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I like to think about the good times that we had.<\/p>\n

The times we spent together were really rad.<\/p>\n

I was into you and you were into me.<\/p>\n

We were a perfect pair, people could easily see.<\/p>\n

We were seen together all over town.<\/p>\n

Often with family and friends around.<\/p>\n

Wrapped in each other\u2019s arms all evening.<\/p>\n

We saw eye to eye on most everything.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But, I must say all in all.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a good life after all.<\/p>\n

Despite the fights and pain.<\/p>\n

When things are going good.<\/p>\n

And I treat you like I should.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s better than any other game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The game is coming to an end.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know where I should begin.<\/p>\n

The arguments and fights have taken their toll.<\/p>\n

It hurts my heart much more than you know.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t go on this way. There\u2019s nothing left to say.<\/p>\n

This crazy game I can\u2019t continue to play.<\/p>\n

I have to end it, though it will break my heart.<\/p>\n

There will be no joy until we finally part.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But, I must say all in all.<\/p>\n

It was a good life after all.<\/p>\n

Despite the fights and pain.<\/p>\n

If I end it like I should.<\/p>\n

Will it come to any good?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s\u00a0 got to be a better game.————-R. W. Johnson.—–(2012)<\/p>\n
