Unlikely

ART: "The Struggle Lives On" By Laurie Cooper

Think of a spring flower that never blooms
or a snowstorm in the month of June..
A catchy poem that doesn't rhyme...
Or the thought of living until the end of time..
It's unlikely...
As unlikely as the the day you'll come back to me..
and that's why I've got the blues.../

Think of a blazing fire that isn't hot or at least
warm..
Or running home and not getting wet during a
thunderstorm..
Or a new day that's exactly the same as the last...
A present and a future without a past...
It's unlikely...
As unlikely as the day you'll come back to me..
as unlikely as the day you'll forgive me..
and that's why today my heart is blue...
It's just an unlikely world without you.../


What could I do?
What could I say?
To make you call me on the phone or text me some day?
Is that an unlikely thing to ask?
Please let me know...
Get back to me through a friend....
Girl, you just can't imagine the shape I've been in...
Since you left me a year ago...
It's unlikely that you'd know.../

Think of a spring flower that never blooms
or a snowstorm in the month of June..
A catchy poem that doesn't rhyme...
Or the thought of living until the end of time..
It's unlikely...
As unlikely as the the day you'll come back to me..
and that's why I've got the blues..
I could sure use some good news...
Something to shake these blues..
Baby,you just can't imagine the shape I've been in...
Since you left me a year ago...
It's unlikely that you'd know...
so unlikely...
that you'd know./
