What does it mean to be alone? It's not always simply "On your own." What does it mean to be one against all? To have not one set of arms in which you could fall. If you set me down on a dark night in June In the woods so thick I could not see the moon Well I would not sit and wait, nor get up and walk I'd listen to the wind and I'd just let it talk Like a ship cast out into a stormy sea You'd find not one person asked to help me Can you imagine a morning without another man's chime? Can you imagine a rich man with not one single dime? I surely can't and so I try not So once more alone into the abyss I trot You think this poem is scattered and unknowing But I promise within a plot is growing Now think as if you were alone in the dark And you heard a wolf yip and bark Who's arms do you imagine holding you tight? Who's warm, soft whisper could save you that night? If someone is painted in your head I do swear You are not alone, for it is them that is there.

We met with total innocence Not an action between us begging repentance I didn't know emotionally we'd grow and delve I mean after all we were only 12 We first exchanged names and spoke of her body This was all in the times when your girl was "Shawty" I did not speak for months at a time And then ran right back as if all was fine But deep in that girl was a burning fire Not innocent or naive she had a woman's desire When we first truly touched there was nothing amiss I first felt her lips with that slow gentle kiss I knew in that moment that she'd touched me deep This could be the first girl to know the way I used to weep Fastforward a year and it looked like we'd never mend That girl wouldn't give up and I just wanted it all to end A deep dark place held me so very tight A large black shadow blocked out all of Earth's light And that shadow stays So I've found a method to be happy without the Earth's rays I've found sunlight elsewhere in that same girl I'm still begging every day to get one more whirl So I'll wait and I'll wait for her wall's gates to divide And I'll keep myself right here by her side I know not what comes tomorrow, or tonight, or in the end All I know for sure is I'm in love with my best friend.
