William Mowell Poems

I remember the good nights
me and her singing and laughing
...

You're staring at a simple man
A cowboy hat and a guitar in my hands

A pen and paper to write everything down
...

Crying is for the weak
Love is for the poor
Time is for the meek
She'll walk out that door
...

I'm not that hard to find
All you have to do is rewind

I'm on the corner of lonely and gone
...

Regrets I've had my share, but I'm through with that
Ace and King haunt me, in a twisted game of blackjack
If I win I loose, and If I loose I win
...

I'm a redneck in a cowboy hat
I'm laid back without a care
I like whiskey, beer, rum, and jack
I don't really care if you stare
...

The love of a father
The death of a son
We will live forever
Somewhere beyond the sun
...

I'm the invisible man sitting in the corner,
the ghost of a man, always a loner

You can't see me but I've always been here
...

This love is rocky, but its worth saving
The final stone, we need to start paving

My infidelities are the worst part of my past
...

I sit and stare at a fifth grade yearbook
I Wonder who made it, and who blew it
Would I recognize them with a second look
Did they live to see, or did they die in the pit
...
