Nothing New..... Under the Sun

I...
I have seen that look before...

That secret look
that sweltering with heat look
That he gives her...
when he thinks Im not looking

I ...
I have seen it all before
Those heavy eyelids...
that spark flames
when she passes...

As she smiles tentively
in my direction....
Hoping I dont engage her
in conversation...
Hoping I don't say...anything
at all.

While you watch the both
of us...like a game of tennis

You just don't realize....
This...Is my game
I invented it.
I have been her...
more times than I care to remember...
I have played your position
a few times too honey....

So really
There is nothing new under the sun
As I watch her slip away...
and then you soon after...

dissapearing into the trails
behind the house...

Yet ...
only a small tinge a saddness
comes to comfort me
As I acquire more comfort
Of the Southern kind...
from my glass of amber colored
kindness on the table

Slowly...
I think back on times long gone...
and I know...
that soon you will be long gone too
I can only smile to myself though
Actually it's a relief
at least you wont have to make
exscuses for why
you dont come home some nights

As for me...
I have had my share of loves, losses & trist
For me...
There is nothing new
Under the sun....
