Haywood Bay

If you like the way I treat you then come out to Haywood Bay,
But if you like to be abused, then with him I guess you'll stay.
They say that nice guys finish last, but that is just cliche,
So if you want to try and make a change then come with me today.

I'm not sure who put it in your head; this idea of being low,
But whoever it was doesn't have a heart, and should realize that you glow.
You radiate your beauty; it's such a magnificent show,
But you never seem to take my word, you always "have to go".

You ask me why I try so hard, and I answer subtle and true,
I have no other motives, no permiscuous things to do.
It's really all quite simple, I want to take care of you,
But I know that will never happen, you'll never let me through.

So I leave this offer on the table should you really want to say,
"I feel like I am happy, I look forward to the day".
Just call on me to pine for you, and fight your troubles away,
You know where you can find me...down by Haywood Bay.


[Footnote: I live in a place called Haywood Bay...and this is written for a certain person who never seems to give me a chance. Enjoy.]

Damn, very well done, Justin.

Seems like a poem with a lot of time put into it.
Didn't think I'd get something like this after those free verses that one night (the ones that sounded like I'd see them in a bathroom stall)

'Haywood Bay' - sounds like a good emo song title.
Damn, the lyrics would suit well too.

Sounds like a wonderful emo song title.

I love it...

You should write more often...

And post them here...

Because I'm tired of this other crap they make me read... I'M TIRED OF IT... [dies]...


That girl's stupid for not giving you a chance... should I shoot her?

I'll post more often so I can get added to your magnificent list, Joe.

I'll put up some of my abstracts later. Thank you for the pluses, everyone.

And the title isnt' copyrighted...sell it to an emo band if you want

Just make the request and I'll gladly add you.

No one bumps that topic though...I swear, I wish it were a sticky.

Thanks for adding me, I'll post some more of my work later.
