Come Due M Q Walters
I want to dream of more than here,
As I hear him pop the top on another beer.
To make the ugly words be gone,
I pray for the night to hide me and then for dawn.
All I’ve ever done in this life is try,
And all I ever do now is to wonder why.
The ugly words he hisses out to me,
Only serve to make me beg to find my way to free.
But it just keeps going around,
Over and again he keeps dragging me down.
I wonder at the rise and fall,
If he knows he sacrificed and then lost it all.
I struggle not to drown,
While he just keeps on pulling me down.
All I want now is for him to be gone,
He still believes a winning hand he’s drawn,
I wonder if he knows what he’s lost
Or has he ever once tried to measure the cost?
I wonder did he lose all his dreams too,
It does not matter now when it’s all come due.
