Hey Mary Andrews

obsessive madness and deluded love lead to trouble

Hey Mary Andrews 
I've loved you girl forever 
you are but a goddess 
and I'm the one who's clever 

I've watched you take a shower 
and comb that long blonde hair 
I've seen you putting lipstick on 
while in your satin chair 

Hey Mary Andrews 
I'm coming down to get you 
If you want to go home 
I'm not going to let you 

So get it thru your sweet little skull 
your roving days are ended 
I've written my final word on this 
and now I'm going to send it 

Hey there Mary Andrews 
I want to lie beside you 
I want to place you in the ground 
I think I'm going to hide you 

Oh dear Mary Andrews 
I think I've up and killed you 
I made completely certain tho 
I took my time and thrilled you 

No more Mary Andrews 
I need to get some sleep 
So enjoy your velvet blanket 
and lay you down to keep 

Please forgive me Mary Andrews 

I really meant no harm 

I was taken like a madman 

I had to feel your charm 

Oh Mary Mary yes dear 
I know that I'm insane 
My thoughts are whipped 
like storm-tossed clouds 
My lack of reason is the rain 

Let me dry your hair now Mary 
Let me place you in my car 
I see the police are coming at me 
and we won't get very far 

They are executing me Mary 
The Jury could clearly see 
please believe that I'm no killer 
The needle will set me free 

Harming you was not my intent 
My head is such a mess 
will you forgive that part of me? 
Please Mary answer "yes"

Author's Note

This was to be a song. It was fun to write.

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

Whether a song or a poem, it's really excellent. Poems that easily roll off the tongue and tell a story are my favorite, and this really exemplifies that. So much of the poetry on this site is meaningless fluff and poo-poo, but certainly not this one.

[N E. Chase]

I think this May give me nightmares and I love it! Envisioning the thoughts of a twisted mind (or having a bit of one to speak from) is always fun lol
