She Just Can't Get EnoughA Poem by Kieran James McGovernShe’s got this thoughtful kind of nod And these unassuming eyes She’s got a modest, an honest appeal That seems to captivate the guys When she walks on through the door You hear the bells of heaven ring She laughs when she don’t have to It’s like the fluttering of angels’ wings Out on the town Out on her own Still she is too smart to go home With any gentle face Yet she will string the bait along And she’s so Tired being lonely But so Sick of the same, old, phony “Darling, I love you so much” But she just can’t get enough She’s lookin’ forward to her best friend’s wedding The last, big girls’ night out She’s smiling though she cries inside When they all talk about Their love and their future Their pride and their dreams And it’s a world of day or night She’s somewhere in between The pressure’s on Her youth is getting old Yet she don’t want to fight or sell her soul Some control And she knows She’s so safe in her stagnation Good times No, she don’t wanna waste them Ah, but she’s so in love with love And she just can’t get enough I saw her three years later She lives in bliss and it has made her So complete and undesiring Of anything else She’s got this dream to hold onto Memories to read through Scars and souevenirs all down her arm She’d never thought of what she truly wanted And I am invisible as before Now she doesn’t have any comfort but She just can’t get enough © 2010 Kieran James McGovern |
