Same Old Story Poem by Leria Hawkins

Same Old Story
Date: December 28,2015

I'd write a brand new story
To keep you off my mind
But I know that you'd still haunt me
In the space between the lines

I'd rearranged our secrets, babe
Until it all makes sense
Then use the ruse of romance
To claim as my defense

I'd sing sweet songs of passion
Pretend that you are mine
If only just to hold you
To my whispers one more time

I'd dream of milk and honey
Sweet candies in the night
Held breathless b‘neath the passion
A flame that burns just right

I'd write a brand new story, babe
If it would change our fate
If once to see a future
Instead of just this ache
