All the Girls

Current mood: refreshed

The other thing I wrote is the new poem. This I wrote a few years ago. It fits with my recent experiences in Atlanta.


All the Girls

For all the girls I ever cheated on
For all the girls who ever cheated on me
For all the girls who've ever been in my poems
To all the girls who've ever been sung a song
And all the who've written a poem
I wonder did you ever love me
I wonder if we were ever meant to be
Like one plus one equals three
Eternally
You and me and he is we
Just us three
A family
Ultimately
A dynasty
Going down in history
But now we're just history
No more you and me
Just memories
And an apology
I tried not to lie
Not to make you cry
Only to love you for life
To be your man
I tried
And maybe in trying
I missed my wife
Lost track of my life
Maybe I'll never get it right
A son and a wife
But who said that's right
Billions of sons
Bu only one wife
Maybe they're wrong
And my way is right
What if
Just what if
You could all be my wife
Just you and you and her and I
For the rest of our lives

So I'm sending this kite

To the reasons I write
A new reason to write
My new outlook on life
Instead of doing too much
I can get it just right





I like that poem. I can relate to it whole heartedly.
