Convenient

 

A little too convenient, a kick in the gut

I’m trying to be lenient with reactionary cuts

But isn’t timing perfect?  Isn’t it so comic?

Isn’t this all worth it just to prove that life’s ironic?

We were on an upswing, our energies converging

A couple again coupling, our faith was re-emerging

Attempting with intention to regain what we’d misplaced

When a gentlemanly henchman went and brained you with his mace

Of course I’ll always trust you, you’ve been nothing if not honest

But I can’t say I’ll adjust to this new bee inside your bonnet

We’ve been taking turns in leaving, only this I might regret.

If you don’t return, believe me, I never will forget.

It’s true this tale has cost me a bellyful of pain

But even if you’ve lost me, just think of what we’ve gained.

Go forth with my blessing, fellow being of light

But for my health I’m guessing that this is all I’ll write.
