Regretful Reputation

 

When you make a reputation for yourself, it tends to stick
Maybe somebody should'a told me that before I got sick
'Cause on my dying bed now I still got this tick
And no way to make it better with the clouds this thick
They rolled in fast and turned grey quick
Rain came down and I felt slick
'Cause I felt like nature was in on the trick
Maybe I was wrong, yeah, I was a skeptic
Spent all my time second-guessing the arithmetic
Got off on hearing people call me a lunatic
But now I'm just feeling really homesick
Wondering if I'll ever again get to see your lipstick
Wondering if you're feelin' real seasick
On your way out, lit your lamp's wick
And I remember our sea-side picnic
Your face lit up by the fire of the candlestick
You looked like you rode over on a broomstick
Witch-like beauty but you'd never be my sidekick
So I never told you about my part in the uptick
Of deaths in our town, 'cause it'd have been a kick
Right to your stomach and I couldn't stomach seeing you panic
But now you're all I think about as I hear the clock tic ...

Reading this particular poem made me think... I sincerely do not regret creating this club. I've gotten to see plenty of insightful words and tales like this one.
