Finger Snapping

Finger Snapping

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

Snap my fingers

POOF!

Lost in the desert

Digging a hole to hide from the heat of the day

Cover myself up to hide from the chill of night

Close my eyes and think in my grave

I think about you more than you think about me

Hardly debatable

Outgrown the need for useless discussions

Even though I’m only as tall now as I was then

A lover not a fighter

Two things I’ve never been called

Frightening answers are what I want from you

It’s a pointless exercise in futility

There are no finger snapping solutions

I snapped my fingers

POOF!

I’m in the desert

Digging a hole to hide from the heat of the day

Cover myself up to hide from the chill of night

Close my eyes and think in my grave

If you could read my mind then this conversation would be over

These constant floggings of dead horses

Nothing left to pull your cart full of fight

Afraid to win because you might not feel better

A sure sign that you fought the wrong battle

Unfortunately, there are no finger snapping solutions

Lying in my grave with these thoughts in my mind

When you find the right person, it’s not based on reactions to a serious of questions

You fall in love with a person

Things change, though

That’s life,

But not diamonds, diamonds are forever

You can have the guts to stick it out in the rough patches

You can choose to take the easy way out

Marriage counseling by Home and Garden TV

A snap of the fingers and I’m in the desert

Digging a hole to hide from the heat of the day

Cover myself up to hide from the chill of night

Thinking in my grave

Trying to remember the day of the week

I can’t tell them apart

Wake up, work, booze, sleep, wake up and repeat until dirty

Make it thru a whole day without thinking, nope

Money disappears into car payments, clothes and other crap

My impact on planet Earth is limited to wasting ink and killing trees

Treating lung cancer with NyQuil

I feel better, but only because I’m in a coma

I snapped my fingers

POOF!

I’m in the desert

Digging a hole to hide from the heat of the day

Cover myself up to hide from the chill of night

Close my eyes and think in my grave

I think of dreams

Dreams should stay dreams

Failing is miserable

Temptation and sin

The Devil takes the blame too often

Marriage is acknowledging there is something more than the physical involved

When that part goes, the rest will sustain,

But temptation and sin and the Devil made me do it

Say something and mean it,

But your mind betrays you later

It was a snap of the fingers and POOF!

I’m in the desert

Missing things

Missing little things

Missing little kisses

Missing how every kiss feels like a first kiss

They don’t feel like habit

They haven’t become like a handshake

Missing seeing that name and my heart doubling up

Missing that horrible feeling that this is a bad idea

Remembering I felt the same way before the first time I ate sushi,

That worked out pretty well

Snap my fingers

POOF!

I’m in the desert

Digging a hole to hide from the heat of the day

Covering myself up to hide from the chill of night

Close my eyes and think in my grave

Rubbing dirt in the cuts from this fight

The cuts will fade

Memories last a lifetime

I want a haircut not a lobotomy

I want to snap my fingers and have the solution

There are no finger snapping solutions
