Don’t want to start remembering
Wish I could just forget
The first time that I saw you
The night …. when we first met.

Filled with longing and emotion
Consumed with pure desire
The power of such passion
My heart was set on fire.

You came over … started talking
I fell hard for your sweet charm
I felt so weak …so damn naive
So shamefully dis-armed.

Unable to think clearly
You got inside my head
Wish I had known better
And stayed home that night …. instead.

Defenseless ….. suddenly unhinged
Couldn’t keep my head on straight
My thoughts and feelings scrambled
By this time, it was too late.

Should have never… had that second drink
I let you get to me
You took my hand…. then whispered
“Come home, come home with me.”

So easily forgotten
A lark …. A memory
No feelings of guilt or remorse
For what you did to me.

Not trying to conceal …. or hide
You removed the plastic shroud
I heard you laugh ….  as you left
I heard you laugh out loud. 

I’d been played … it was a joke
The joke that broke my heart
Felt like a poisoned arrow
Had ripped my chest apart.

The pain was unimaginable
Bore through my heart and soul
Left a smoldering  blackened path
A deep and empty hole.

You knew what you were doing
When you came on to me
You had a simple plan in mind
A means …. a strategy.

Now I’m left with regret
A loss ….  too much to bear
Having to face the bitter truth
That you never  …. really cared.

You whispered softly in my ear
Said  I was your everything 
Then I woke up to find …. you gone
You walked out on me.

I cried and cried ….  I’m still crying
Hard to believe it’s true
I fell so hard ….  so incredibly hard
So deeply in love with you.

I’ve been betrayed ….tricked and cajoled
You are the grand magician
Charming …. charismatic ….  manipulative 
The Master of Deception.

You had a plan …. you led me on
Once sure that I had fallen
You knew it would be easy for you
I was so easily forgotten.

Just passing through …. taking what you can
Feelings come and go
I didn’t see it …. so unexpected
No clue …. I didn’t know.

The stars and the moon
Fell from the sky
It all fell apart
Before my eyes.

Unable to bargain
To change your mind
Realizing now
You’re no longer mine.

You hold her hand
Kiss her good night
Tell her you love her
While holding her tight.

No second chances
No way to save face
You disappeared
You made your escape.

Tickets for two
One seat left empty
I had no clue
That you planned to leave me.

The moon and the stars
Fell from the sky
It all fell apart
Before my eyes.

All of our friends
Now picking sides
Wondering why 
We didn’t try.

Feeling betrayed
Lost and alone
Facing the truth
You’re not coming home.

Please tell me
What is wrong with you
You can’t possibly condone
The rights of the Q.

Conspiracy theorists 
The KKK
Proud Boys and Nazi’s
Are hardly okay.

Led to slaughter
Willingly fed
Hate and vengeance
The things that Trump says.

Where is your honor?
Your morality?
What were you thinking
When you signed on to be

A pawn and a cultist
A fool and a smuck?
Donald’s soon to be
Fresh out of luck.

No federal charges
Now seem to stick
But the NY State’s attorney
Is tired of his tricks.

He always skates
He’s never accountable
Soon to be jailed
Because he’s responsible.

Stand up for justice 
Not force and might
Storming the Capitol
Just wasn’t right.

Lives have been lost
We were clearly violated
Incited and prompted
So carefully calculated.

Democracy now
Hangs by a thread
As Tump leads the charge
Resulting in death.

Come to your senses
Denounce Q anon
You know it is evil
You know it is wrong!

Watch your step …. be careful
Beware of broken glass
Don’t try so hard …. pull over
You’re going way too fast.

The cards are on the table
The writing’s on the wall
Watch your step …. be cautious
You might  slip or you could fall.

You need to heed the warnings
Observe the caution lights
You’re swimming in the deep end
It’s never safe at night.

Yellow lights are blinking
You need a safety net
It’s time to take precautions
Wear your helmet …. don’t forget.

Don’t linger…. they are watching
They have cameras in the air
Keep up the pace …. don’t falter
Even though you’re feeling scared.

In the twilight of the evening
When the sun is going down
You will find a place of solace
As you lay your body down.

In the early morning hours
Hear the birds high in the trees
They  will beckon you to wake up
Just before it’s time to leave.

It’s been a tiresome journey
One you had to make alone
But once you cross the meadow 
You’ll be there …. you will be home.

Doesn’t matter what I say
You have your own agenda
You tell the same old stories twice
Because you don’t remember.

Not interested in anything
Unless it pertains to you
Can’t stay focused very long
“Have to go… there’s lots to do!” 

I wish we could be closer
But that can never happen
Whatever I tell you today
By tomorrow is forgotten.

So easily distracted
By a brand new shiny object
Often displaced … lost and obscured
Left forgotten….in your pocket.

I try my best to engage
I try hard to reconnect
But you’re not really interested
Cause …. there’s someone you just met.

She’s got your attention
Heard she moved in right next door
You think …. she is amazing
She’s someone you adore.

Before long …. you’ll get tired
You’ll look for someone new
Hopefully by then …. I will
I will be over you.

Q-anon? …. Please, come on!
These are domestic terrorists
Stop the madness …. get control
If not …. what will become of us?

These radicals are extreme
There’s Marjorie Taylor Greene
She calls herself a patriot 
But ….she is downright mean!

Calling for our speaker
To take a bullet to the head
If she could do away with us
We would all be dead.  

We’ve got to stop this rhetoric 
She needs to be expelled
She shouldn’t be in Congress 
Send her home and wish her well.

Jim Jordan …. Gates and Lindsey Graham 
McCarthy ….. Hawley , too
A clear and present danger 
Directed right at you. 

They’re aligned with Donald Trump
They’re spouting hate and vengeance 
They proudly state their beliefs
They’re menacing and mendacious.

At this point …. what we need
Is an ethic’s investigation 
Ethically and morally
They’re out to screw our nation.

Out in the cold
That’s how I felt
The night you said
There’s someone else.

Your words cut deep
I was in shock
Nothing I did
Could make it stop.

After you spoke
I couldn’t hear
Could not respond
Nothing was clear.

My face was numb
Started to shake
I couldn’t breathe
Too much to take.

So many clues
You left a trail
I turned away
Lost out …. I failed.

You left me here
Now I’m alone
We both know you’re

Not coming home.

Please come to your senses
This can’t happen again
Trump’s reign of terror
Must be stopped …. it must end.

Police officers beaten
Our government defamed
Our officers out numbered
And Donald’s to blame.

The Capitol ….. attacked
By bullies and thugs. 
Please stop this madness
Enough is  enough!

Now the Senate won’t convict
And wants us to forget
Everything that Trump told us
Everything that he  had said.

Trump was filmed on video
Firing up the group
He had them charge the Capitol
He led the violent coup.

They stormed the building
Broke down the doors 
Emboldened …. they walked
The Senate floors.

They threatened to hang
Vice President Pence
Kill Speaker Pelosi 
With help from their friends.

They broke through the windows
They shattered the glass
Wearing war paint
Costumes and hats.

They screamed and they shouted
They just didn’t care
While  members of Congress
Were hiding and  scared.

What do we do
To get the Senate to act
To prosecute trump
Who began this attack?

Where are the laws
To make them comply?
Their behavior and lies
Make me want to cry.

They lack a conscience
They still want a fight
They don’t seem to know 
How to do …. what is right.
