I'm Game

 

If you want to go alone

Down this path of life

Don't let me be your stepping-stone

I'm supposed to be your wife

 

I've loved you and wooed you

Done everything I can

And still you keep rejecting me

When you're supposed to be my man

 

You say 'please be patient dear'

For getting back to where you were

But patience is a virtue

That is coming to an end

 

I've asked the Lord to give me strength

And help me bide my time

But I'm a woman, full of life

And want you to by mine

 

So if the game of solitaire

Is the game you choose

I'm afraid you will walk alone

And me you're going to lose

 

No man is an island

And loneliness is killing

Especially when just one of us

Is going to be willing.

 

You were my love, dear

I’d place all of my hope on

Yet it looks like our time has ended

And all my hope is now gone

 

When you are alone without me

Then you may well find

That what you took for granted

Was right there all the time.

 

I love you, Lawrence, but is this love enough?  I need respect and honor, even when the going’s rough.   Bonnie, August 14, 2007
