Good Things Go Bad

Good Things Go Bad — © 2008 Myron Schreck

Late at night
Lying there beside her, with her
Skin so soft, and she smells so sweet
And her hair’s so shiny
Like the color of her dreamy dark eyes  
I want to know sometimes
Why even a good thing can go so bad
 
I know she loves me
And I feel the same.
But sometimes when we’re angry,
We say things we don’t mean
And even an innocent comment
Can seem like we mean to criticize
I want to know sometimes
Why even a good thing can go so bad
 
Years go by
And as I get older
I remember what a good friend once said
He said
Love’s like chocolate
But sometimes you can eat too much
And that’s how I know
Sometimes even a good thing can go so bad
