Handle With Care

She came
to me
in
a dream
on a star
lit night
I'm
so tired
of being lonely
"take my hand fool"
I'm sick of ridicule
"do you think
i am here
to rob you?"

I have scars
been beat up, shot down
"baby your adorable"
dream on
I can't handle
another battering
my life such a mess
But I'll clean
up myself, I guess
"the sweet
smell of success"

please don't patronize
old habits
die
HARD
"You can sit
around wait
for the phone
to ring, or "

or what?
"Well it's all right"
even if they say you're wrong?
like what do you know?
"Sit around wonder
what tomorrow will
bring then"

Hey I'm dong the best
I can
"Well it's all right"
hey I get
what your trying to say
live and let live
I need to forgive
"were going to
the end
of the line,
travel, fly"
