My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

The Question On The Table

5/26/2017

​This is a poem I wrote in 2009. I imagine all of my poetry to music but I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. The verses to this one I imagine to the tune of Cryin’ by Aerosmith and the chorus I imagine to the tune of Heavy by Collective Soul.

​So you tell me my friend
You finally went and got engaged
She sounds nice - best of luck to you
But would you mind
Answer me a couple things
These few questions that I ask of you
Is she best you can get
Or the best that there ever can be?
If she runs off away could you ever love again?

Will you love her
The way I used to?
The way I do?
Will you love her
The way I used to?
The way I do?

So you tell me my friend
That your heart's full of love
I don't dispute it - but tell me this
When she gets down
Do you tell her it'll turn around
And to pull herself together right away
Or do you just sit and hold her
To let her know you're there
Do you really understand her enough to let her know you care?

Will you love her
The way I used to?
The way I do?
Will you love her
The way I do?
The way I do?

Don't get me wrong
You seem to get along
Great. you have my blessing - I know you'll do well
But before you go through
With it I hope you'll do
One more thing - and that's think of this:
Can you make corny sappy romance
For the rest of your life
Will you spend time and make time
To embrace the skeletons in her closet
And be sure she's really the one
Before you make her your wife?

Will you love her
The way i do?
The way i do?
Will you love her
The way i do?
The way i do?
Will you love her
The way i used to?
The way i do?
Will you love her
The way i do?
The way i do?
