OUCH!!!

On the first date i thought it went well
it ended as the ringing of a church bell

it seemed forever and future dates looked assured
but maybe it was just me, my senses were allured

the letter said it all, turned aside like a doll
i was speechless, my mind seemed to stall

all i could say was ouch as i read the paper
funny how words can be an emotion shaper

now we go on our separate ways
when we meet are the worst days

she'll say hi like nothing happened at all
i hate that, it makes me ache and bawl

maybe it's nothing, that letter, the date, life
or maybe it's jabbing at my heart like a knife

maybe if i had more to offer i wouldn't have this letter
or maybe living the loner will just protect me better

i wish i never asked for a second date
oh well, I guess in the end it was fate

Forever The Loner
