Back Romance in rhyme I understand Alone in a crowded room To Geri Happy Birthday Note I've had the tests A few days Without you My Life You're not there Time is not measured Muddy Towpath To ebony

There are times in life, when talk stands still
And words don't seem to work
No matter how you try, they will
The bad ones will always lurk

Once uttered they'll not go away
No matter how you fight
You've said them now, they'll haunt you till
Hell freezes, or heaven bursts alight.

We all say things when in a fit
In temper or in strife
They live with us, regretfully
For all a long, long life.

I think I've learned to curb my tounge
But from time to time
When I'm attacked with words and stung
I briefly lose my mind

It happened just a while ago
My love just lost her cool
She told me things I don't believe
At the time I felt a fool

She'd found another lover
It was me that was the fool
She was protecting herself
The words were just a tool

To save herself, and me as well
I think, I could be wrong
Maybe I should just forget it all
Try something new. A bong!
