if actions speak louder than words
and absence makes the heart grow fonder
why do you add insult to injury
by going against the grain?
placing age before beauty
like you are ahead of the game
you stand all stage and glory
your audience all ears
while you air dirty linen
become the albatross around your own neck
treating it like it's all in a days work
like it's all over but the shouting
gotta make that almighty dollar
you are more than all work and no play
because your apple didn't fall far from the tree
and you never asked to be the apple of my eye
so you came armed to the teeth
demanding that I ante up
and though I know you are not all things to all men
you you are all things to me
I'm at sixes and sevens with you
at first blush and arms length with you
your head as hard as nails
us at each other's throats
at loose ends
losing our shit at the drop of hat
like we have found ourselves in the arms of Morpheus
loving at a snail's pace
I'm just an average Joe
wearing I love you like tattoos
while this emotion you avoid like the plague
I have no ax to grind
I'd just like to be taken at face value
instead you mistake my artsy-craftsy ways
for being asleep at the switch
I am at my wit's end
I know that not all roads lead to Rome
maybe one day
you'll find that as the crow flies
I am and have always been
your ace in the hole
