So Many Times
so many times, I draw the line
you stepped over just in time
reading into all the rhymes
purveyor of all that could be fine
so many times, I turned to go
all that truth that didn’t show
tossing lines both to and fro
hugging hard and loving slow
so many times, just one more chance
weighing what is circumstance
the queen of hearts asked you to dance
what follows is a wild romance
so many times, I questioned all
it lasts from spring into the fall
you take my heart but drop the ball
the dream not quite as I recalled
with shaded eyes you turn away
live to love another day
I wanted to go and yet I stayed
the queen of hearts now fades away
