That Girl

That Girl


Funny girl,
Lovely girl,
Flowers in her hair,
Pretty girl,
Clever girl,
Just wanted them to care.
Happy girl,
Kooky girl
Giggles everyday,
Dancer girl,
Pin up girl,
Sultry in her way.
Cultured girl,
Poetic girl,
Professional writer,
Traveled girl,
Strong girl,
Always a fighter.
Lightweight girl,
Caring girl,
Can't hold her drink,
Kind girl,
Daring girl,
Will stop and make you think,
That you lost that girl,
Hurt that girl
Caused her some distress.
But she'll fight that girl,
Smile, that girl,
Untangle the mess
You gave that girl
You made that girl
Lose some of her spark,
But she's grown, that girl,
Shown, that girl
That she'll leap out of the dark.
So you'll miss that girl,
Resist that girl,
Next time she's around.
But she's fine that girl,
Shines that girl,
Won't let you bring her down.


It Hurts, But It Happens.

Your girl is lovely,
And so were you
In your way,
and perhaps you've changed,
Or are trying to,
And if only I'd knew
So long ago
What I've gained
From the pain you gave
Hurting time and time again,
Perhaps it would have left me sooner.
And now -
All I've left,
Is pity
For your girl,
As I overheard
Your lines used on her,
Just as with me,
And the others,
She'd have felt as we all did,
Well rehearsed and less impressive,
Second and third time round.
Your one man show
Led my feelings astray,
Swept my sadness away,
So a thankyou is due,
You made me stop missing you.
