Raw
You wander, perhaps far away.
Of your life, I have no say
in your life, I beg you to let me stay.
At times my feelings cause me to say
words that may betray
our friendship and your trust in me.
Sometimes, these words have meaning I don't always see
or even understand completely.
Those words may sting
or burn and begin to hurt
causing you to miss
the meanings in my head,
before my pen transformed them into images.
I cause you pain with words I wish your soul to feel
when I try to steal your pain and begin to heal
with my heart and soul that I hide in every word.
Winter has come, the sky is grey
the inspiration for my verse is gone
is so far away.
The feelings I was made to feel, were very real.
I had found a mind much like my own and longed to meet her
longed to greet her in my heart.
My secrets I wanted her to see
I wanted to show her, what I've longed for her to know.
You inspire me to greatness
you replenish my soul when I'm running on empty.
The sun breaks through the clouds at your prompting
you make me smile when I've forgotten how
make me hopeful for better tomorrows
when I've ceased to care.
I hold my breath, waiting to hear
if you like what I've written
when you do, I can't stop smiling.
Over my life you have no say
in my life I wish you'd stay.
