Married A Lawyer

Written December 2008

I see you married a lawyer, and I’m sure he adores you,
working long hours for you, just to bring it all home,
it’s been years since I kissed you, & there was more that I wished to,
it was easy to want you, it was harder to know..

well, we never quite hooked up, maybe if you had shown up
in a little less make-up, t-shirt, sneakers & jeans?
and I’m a jerk just to write this, yeah you’ll probably be pissed,
but when I think of what I missed, some nights I can’t sleep..
+++ we had no long discussions,
+++ not that much in common,
+++ but your heart was golden,
+++ while my heart was weak..

all the ghosts of our past lives, when we look them up online,
the information that you’ll find, you might wish you don’t know?
so now you married a lawyer, how’s that working out for you?
are you already dreaming by the time he comes home?

I see you married a lawyer, and I’m sure he adores you,
you’ll be his princess, & I’ll be your ghost…
