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.
