My entry to Kevin’s NTT this week.

A Hard Luck Thought

As I took my carry-out and left the Chinese buffet shop
I paused for a second to reflect on a hard luck thought
Garlic shrimp that was waiting to tingle my tongue
Would have to wait as an idea from my mind sprung

Confusion again clouding my thought process with glee
Thoughts of you contradicting what my minds eye sees
Love feelings forming in the mid-day sun has me amazed
So I forget the garlic shrimp rice and head out on my way

I search for the love that floats around my broken heart
All I find is that our thoughts are a million miles apart 
The love I've shown you was tossed off to the side like trash
Dying love embers slowly turning into a cold grey ash

The passion we shared when this love first started to bloom
Has been replaced by feelings of tearful dread and doom
When did your feelings change into the hate you now hold
Why did your heart become filled with a coldness so bold

These crazy questions will not leave my altered mind alone
So please let's talk, just answer that damn ringing telephone
Messages go unanswered, you avoid me like a vicious  plague
Your breaking my heart honey, and it really is becoming a drag

I sit in my truck and gently reflect on what I don't understand
I know I will never be another lady's loving puppy of a man
A cold heart has replaced the warm feeling of love's passionate heat
As I feast on cold garlic shrimp and place love in my hearts backseat
