Another Dime in the Bucket

He said he met her online, she was looking pretty fine
He couldn’t wait to see her face.
The only thing between them was about a thousand miles
How could he get to her place.
He called her every night and text her every morning
Put a smile on her face, but she knew better. . . .yay she knew better

She fell for all his stories he told her every day
She can’t believe how much he trusted her so. .
She thought he was sincere till she had another beer
And said I’ve heard this all before

He’s just another dime in the bucket
Another coin for her jar
She tries to meet a man who will love her like she can
But they all just live so far.
Just another dime in the bucket
Another coin for her jar
Will she find another one or is this just how it’s done
she been trying way too hard.

as much of a contradiction in terms as the phrase suggest, (trying too hard) i have come to understand it's validity...sadly

I really, really enjoyed this work.

Another dime to hit me in the head.
Another moment to remind me i'm dead.
Laying here tossed aside, living in this jar.
All because she couldn't trust a man who lived afar.
Just a chance was all I wanted ,to see you face to face.
Yet here I lay, locked away, buried in your jar to stay.

Your poem is very true,
And I felt the need to write this, to remind you.
SOME MEN,will be real,and time and space won't have this value.

Thnks, it is moreso a song i wrote. . unfinished. . but being we are all online here i thought some of you would enjoy the irony of it. .

Thank you for all the kind words.
