Your Creed

Sponsor: Rob Carmack


My love you left me far out west,
   I knew our love would be a test,
      before you leave, one last request, 
        tell me baby, "why so depressed?"
           I promised you help when in need,
              I broke it out of bitter greed.

               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

               That morning I got up and dressed,
             saying good bye, who would've guessed?
          younger days I was your conquest,
      you're older now and not impressed.
   You said our good bye was agreed,
I said, “that's fine good bye indeed."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Through all our changes I confess,
   too many times I was so stressed,
     you seemed different from the rest,
        my sadness seemed so unexpressed.
         Mind races though I am fatigued,
            warned you were a different breed.
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
           
            Laying I prayed on your headrest,
          so tired, needing to decompress,
        had a feeling you were distressed,
     so now it's my turn to suppress.
   How in the world should I proceed?
To see the truth behind your creed.
