Ode to an alliance.

It always made sense 
to get the door for her
seemed easy enough 
as it were


I just let her go by, 
 in front of me, 
yeah that could be as easy
 as easy  can be


wait a second!
 she needs
 something from me
how can I give her 
what I barely see?


to walk alone, solo, as one
seems like you just 

missed the setting sun


I've felt the slow burn, 
of many splendid suns
how to be sure
which one is the one?


if you ask that too much...
you'll never be done


alone by choice,
fucking cop out
grand lie


I'll adjust , 
in the by and by


darkness is here,
it's me that I fear


but she, she says
the lie is so clear


like the sun in the morning,
or the foam on her beer


but she says , but she says
that goddamned lie is so clear
