It's Not Fair At All

You never wrote or even tried to call  
When I was lost behind your wall  
Now we will never know, `cos "we" will never be
It isn't fair to you  
It isn't fair to me  
It isn't fair at all  

I have made plans to be your stooge no more  
And you have evened out the score  
The truth can't hide from me,
I know what's behind your door
It isn't fair to me  
It isn't fair to you  
It isn't love or war  

You couldn't wait for me to leave for school
To leave behind your bedroom fool  
You hid it well enough from a man too blind to see  
It isn't fair to me  
It isn't fair to me  
It isn't fair to me


*1989
*(full date forthcoming)
I have to do some digging for my original writing of this poem to come up with the date it was written. In the meantime, let me tell you a story...
This poem is written in a way that I have not written any other poem. It was inspired by a song from a TV show. I almost hate to admit this, but General Hospital was my favorite show back in the day. I just started watching it again this year after having a stroke and finding myself with all sorts of free time on my hands. And sure enough, nothing has changed, LOL! Well anyway, to make a long story short, HA, impossible for me, I know, but I'll do my best. Back in the day, Frisco & Felicia were the couple of the moment and after they split up, Felicia got married to Colton Shore, which happens all the time in soap operas... So Frisco came back and was trying to win Felicia's heart and wrote her a song that he performed on the show. Now, Jack Wagner (Frisco) and Kristina Wagner (Felicia Jones) were a real life couple, so the song was real enough and I was impressed with the performance because unlike most tv shows, they had Wagner actually perform the song live with just an acoustic guitar.

Sound quality is a bit squirly on that, it is also at

with better sound, but oonly left side mono and in the context of the tv show.

Anyone who knows me knows I love basic, bare bones recordings over any prodction laden garbage that is fed to our ears and called art, just read my poem, Artificial Artisits and the reprise in my library for evidense of that. So anyway, I really like that song and how they handled it on the show. As it turned out, I was going through some rough times with my girlfriend around that time and related to the song in a personal way. So right after the show was over, I wrote this poem. It's another of my not so good poems from that time period and has remained unposted until now for that reason. Not that I don't like it, but it's really more of a song lyric than a poem and not as well written as I might have liked it.

Well now that Felicia is back on GH and Jack Wagner had a successful run on Dancing With The Stars, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Frisco will be returning to GH to rekindle the old flame. But They got divorced in the real world, so I'm not so sure. Jack hooked up with Heather Locklear for a while. WOW! Who wouldn't want to hook up with HL? Still, I feel bad for Kristina, she is quite the beautiful lady in her own right and I have loved Felicia forever. Frisco and Jack need an ass whoopin!
