Cowboy Dan

Cowboy Dan

True love at first sight,
Five years go fast
But the days go so slow.

With Bright Eyes
He sparkles, shimmers, shines
His clothes reflected light –
All right.

You were my Indian summer
In the middle of fucking winter—
Just the smell could make me fall.

I fell and I needed a roadmap,
If you go straight long enough
You’ll end up where you were.

Sitting in your car with nothing,
I miss you when you’re around
Filling jars of silence –
You’ll get nowhere.

An absence of dark
But the light still ain’t there.
I don’t feel at all like I fall –
Everything that keeps me together
Is falling apart, you can’t
Look in on one way eyes.
Dreams stained my memories.

Oh noose, tied myself in
Tied myself too tight.
There are some things that I wish
I could forget, but I can’t.

Broken hearts want broken necks,
Pulled the scab off of regrets.
It’s the end of the discussions
That just go round & round.

I’ve said what I’ve said
You know what I mean but –
I still can’t focus on anything.
Karma’s payment.
