Person With A Past

Looking in the mirror

What do you see

From another era

A face baby



A waste maybe

Of a chance never had

A history

Of romance gone bad



Who can be a lover

How long can it last

Anything but hover

Seems like moving too fast

Going undercover

With a person with a past



Seems like only yesterday

You were just a child

Until up irreversibly

All o' this sadness piled



Mistakes when you were fighting

Your way out of your bag

Has loneliness moonlighting

Made of you a hag

Who can be . . .



You say you want to see me

My number you desire

You make it sound so easy

Like slumbering in fire



I'm offering a warning

Where you can put your trust

And thank me in the morning

When ashes turn to dust

Who can be . . .
