Another Incomplete

This is another poem that I was working on but want to post and pick up later, which probablly means that I won't. Anyways, this is about when you try for someone and they know, but will plead the fith and keep the game up leading you on.

So I've played the game
I've done my time
You keep running around
And that is why I'm dying

You're sexy, sweet, and smart
An unforgettable beauty too
Which makes harder to stand
Not having you

(I'm especially proud of these next two verses)
Baby I want to be around you
But you're like the sun
The redwoods grow tall
Reaching for a goal that can't be won

I'm not a wise old sage
But if there's one thing that I've learned
Standing in the sun too long
And you'll only get a burn

I may not be filthy rich
Or in any hall of fame
Keep dancing on for too long
And it'll be a lonely solitary game

So why not let your guard down
Let me take a closer look
Life is such an akward thing
Why not be an open book



The last six lines I just whipped out of my ass on the spot so the quality may be lacking a little. I'm not saying that the rest is any good, it's just that they recieved the less thought so they may seem like less.

*upon revision, I have decided that this is actually a pretty solid poem. Now I have to add the tune and music and I'll have myself a song.

sadly, this poem is not in iambic pentameter. Shakespeare would be quite disappointed...
