I Was Good, But She Was Better

I had a memory but she had a picture
I had the words but she had a figure
I was quick but she was much quicker
I was bright but she was the light
she caught him in her golden glow
he cut the strings and let me go.

I never was one for things of class
don't have money or a taste for caviar
I know nothing about business or politics
but let me tell ya, I knew about loving
you say you cared but I have my doubts
I say I can't survive and you don't believe me
she sat and watched my image pass
with her smug smile, she watched me hit my ass.

I had a memory but she had a picture
I had the words but she had a figure
I was quick but she was much quicker.

april, this is so right...it just feels like a feeling we all know or have known, only consolation is that we sometimes find the memory to be better than the reality

Lady, the blues are butter on your tongue. And the superiority of a natural poet to all other forms of life is something you will learn to accept. Even if some people can't.
