A Pain in the Next

I must be hell bent for pain,
am I a fool or just insane?
My head’s in the clouds, hearts on my sleeve.
A feeling love I feel will relieve.

What an idiot I must be,
thinking love will set me free.
Past love’s brought happiness and hurt.
The last threw me to the dirt.

What kind of jerk am I?
After weeks and weeks wishing to die,
I remain hell bent for the pain.
What’s a little agony when heavens to gain?

Change’s the Same

My little town is changing,
the old folks are moving away.
Little kids are moving back,
now there’s screaming every day.
~
The houses too are changing,
paint jobs have gone awry.
Gone the regard for history,
the zip code is now the why.
~
Perhaps I too am changing,
my future being soon elsewhere.
While life forever changes,
what remains was always there.
