PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

by Jeph Johnson

You'll always be my beauty of burden
Your ego's bruised and you're a hurting
All I want's for you to trust your love on me

You'll always be my beauty of burden
You spin around then drink your bourbon
All I want's for you to make sense to me

Do you drink too much?
Am I concerned enough?
Do you complain too much?
Or are we all too blind to see?

You'll always be my beauty of burden
At the club you're best at flirtin'
Trying to make me jealous
So I'll focus on our chemistry

I'm not rich enough
To call anyone's bluff
I guess I just feel that love
Blinds all my reasoning

A little distant
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty baby girl
Uh you're a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, baby girl
Pretty, pretty, such a pretty, pretty, baby girl
My beast mode is set to please, please

I'll tell ya
Try to drown me out
On the stage
Dancing 'round
With no reason for your rage

But it puts me out, puts me out
You're such a God damn mystery, yeah

It's your sickness, but I can fuck it up
Throw it all at me
I can push it off
But there's one thing baby
I don't understand
You keep on telling me
I'm your kind of man

Because I'm rough enough,
Ooh baby
But not tough enough
I sure ain't rich enough,
To love you enough
Ooh, ooh please

You'll always be my beauty of burden
Somethin' else? Nothin's for certain
Never, never, never, never, never, never, let it be

You'll always be my beauty of burden
I've tried for weeks, my brain is hurting
All I want is you to trust your love on me

Yeah

This'll always be my proof and burden
They're your conclusions
But you need my version
But it'll never, never, never, never, never, never, never be
