A Song For (Some) Guy Poem by Dave James

I gave you my world
You gave me the same
Your flag I unfurled
But you lost your aim
The print far too small
It couldn't be read
That my love was never
The song in your head

The care and attention
I lavished on you
Got hardly a mention
I know this is true
But you were so busy
And I just in love
So blinded by feelings
I placed you above.

But tables have turned
And I am alone
Crashed and now burned
Without heart and home
I fell in too deeply
I let down my guard
I fell far too steeply
The landing so hard.

I will pick up the pieces
Its just what I do
Then iron the creases
Still left there by you
Love is for fools
None bigger than me
I played by the rules
But nothing's for free


Time will pass honey
While I try and mend
No person, no money,
Can make the hurt end.
Your words are just hollow
The hating's begun
It's so hard too swallow
Thought you were the one.
