Poems - So far gone

So far gone

by micsir

I still get a rush from playing ball,
I know fore sure I trust my dog
But just the other day washing the car,
I realized that you and I baby - we are so far gone

I go drinking at the bar, smoke the same cigars
I never get enough of bar-b-q and t-bone
Though of late I get the same cold shake, as I’m getting home
So I got to tell you baby, I think it’s time I went along

I say,"I’m home" and I hear you moan
The familiar cold shoulder as the pot simmers
Why do you sound OK when talking to friends over the phone
You and I both know where this is going

Out the door!
If I still had that third wheel I’d be sleeping in the yard
Cause I’m not getting any at all and I heard old dogs die hard,
if a dog can't have a mound on which he can stand proud.

If we didn’t keep that crazy cat
Cause all it did was hiss and spat
If you don’t shake out the funk from that old rug
I might as well be out with the junk, the way you treat me, this trist is done

Lord knows I’m a giver. That’s why I just can’t figure
what can I give her, to make her reconsider
Cause it’s wearing on my at long last
The only affection you’ll accept is in turning your back for a pat.

There are ways you can tell when all’s gone to hell
When the cooler holding the fish starts to smell
One thing is sticking ‘round cause it’s easy
But what if loving you doesn’t come as easy breezy

There’s no way you’ll see the end of this song,
Cause I’ve been watching you all night along,
And I see you at the corner cruising up a storm - having fun
Now! What is that? The first time this month!? You don’t do that at home.

Your sitting there on the phone
Chatting it up with your Mom
I’m working fixing something on this home
I don't see why, cause it just maybe, baby, too far gone.
