It starts out so simple <br />A lonely girl, a troubled boy <br />A caught glance, a vow exchanged <br />A friend and a lover all in one <br /> <br />But fate came in the picture <br />And knocked our dreams off kilter <br />I lost the greatest thing I ever knew <br /> <br />One last time, Love <br />Let’s give it all we’ve got <br />I think we may have a little left in us <br />Yeah, I think we might have some time left to share <br /> <br />Now I need to turn down the lights <br />And turn up our awkward silences <br />Just to hear that one last whisper <br />Please go on and say it while I gasp for air <br /> <br />One last time, Love <br />Let’s give it all we’ve got <br />I think we may have a fight left in us <br />Yeah, I think we might have one more to share <br /> <br />I’ve been called a recluse <br />But perhaps I’m more of a widow <br />I guess we’ll figure it out tonight <br />‘Cause you’ve been drinking your red wine <br />While I’ve been waiting for your next cheap shot <br /> <br />And I’m so desperate I’m sleeping with ghosts, I guess <br />They make love better than the skeletons in my closet ever did <br /> <br />One last time, Love <br />Let’s give it all we’ve got <br />I think we may have some love left in us <br />Yeah, I think we might have so much more to share<br /><br />Allison Wonderland<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/these-words-are-cocked-and-loaded/
