"Why I Seek a Part Time Lover at the Tail End of My Life"
by Jeph Johnson
Why do I seek a part time lover at the tail end of my life
When I'm sick most days, in a small bedroom, cared for by my ex-wife?
Ya see chemo and cancer fight each other to answer, but in the end just question
How long it'll be before it's me who succumbs to their aggression
Yeah all of this is my bucket list, so with knuckled fist I shout
Please understand and take my hand to band together and hear me out!
Once again I find my friends with energy expended
So without a doubt I'm reaching out with open arms extended
I sip my mug while seeking hugs and cuddles in my arms
Warm embraces, smiling faces, places to trace my charms
The shared awareness of the careless affairs I left unspoken
Created a man who can't understand why his ego's this heartbroken
