Jerry Simmons Poems

They aint thinking about you, time to move on man. They aint worried about you, they done got a new dance. A hot new step to shake off the blues the bad news that you had to bring. No more cake, no reception, no three month salary ring. No church, no fancy clothes, no songs to slow jam thru. I try to forget the happy times and remember the pain. I'm crying as I write and type these words, love is so hard to explain. But I maintain and don't reach out for your touch, your heart, even though I miss you much.
They aint tripping off you cuz, you's a non factor lost in time. They brought some new shoes the moment they walked out of your life. You the one reading the old love letters, the e-mails, and text messages. Come on son, get a grip, that aint the last piece of pie on Earth. She aint all that, but she helped me learn what a woman's worth. I listen to our favorite songs and some slow jams all alone. I sit in grey corners waiting for your number to pop on my phone. I think of what to say if I answer and then reality strikes and my hope goes away.
They aint waiting on you, let's go to the club. She already got a dude and you home rubbing on yourself. You young and single, go mingle and get you some new honey. But see man I'm not some mack daddy looking for some playboy bunny. I want my baby back in my arms. Why doesn't she remember when I could do no wrong? When I brought her nice things and rubbed her body? When we smiled and kissed and I was her hard piece of chocolate and she was my sweet hottie?
They don't need you and you lost her. Let it burn, drink some beers and just say it was her fault. Let's go to the bar and get white boy wasted. You can't stay in this house forever so face it. Embrace it, the world, at least a billion more ladies. Yeah I hear you but none of them compare to my baby, my lady day, the way she would say, "I love you babe" or "I love you J". I can't believe she's gone and I'm wrong to let my heart go away.
