PIER PRESSURE
as I stand here
alone on this pier
hey, these ants
keep crawling up here
breaking my concentration
on you
remember us playing
alone on the beach
never once leaving
each other’s reach
all those good times
the fun now gone
the lies, the deception
now my heart all alone
if only you had told me the truth
but you, my friend
chose to be so uncouth
the memories of you
I’ll store on a shelf
and I’ll enjoy this pier
all by myself
