DROP THE BALL

You could say you caused my head to spin
but you don’t get to do that again.
You could say the writing on the wall
was the kindest letdown of them all.

You could say your love was Heaven sent
but that don’t explain the money spent.
You could say my life was something
to believe in ‘till I fell for you.

My intake on love is briefly:
Take a number, float upstreamly
Be awake and try to have it all

Clear out of the office early.
Break for dinner and a movie.
Make up for mistakes and drop the ball.

You could cross a river out of sync
underneath the bridges on the blink.
You could fake a pass and then agree
that the only hesitation’s me.

You could string along a turkey shoot
but that don’t explain the missing loot.
You could say my time was coming up,
my number was your number too.

You could say a lot of other things
that cancel all remaining dreams.
You could say above beyond the call
is where the last dividers fall.

You could call my name alone out loud.
You could call my name out in a crowd.
You could say my life was something
to believe in ‘till I fell for you.

My intake on love is briefly:
Take a number, float upstreamly
Be awake and try to have it all

Clear out of the office early.
Break for dinner and a movie.
Make up for mistakes and drop the ball.
