your voice so rare

the depths of which
are still unmatched

your words spark
longing in me

a longing for life

an eternal flame
that warms my soul

I will never cease
listening to you

to feel all of me
in your simple words

rest now soulful man
Dedicated to the memory of Bill Withers

You make me dance.
I'm not a dancer.
You make me sing.
I'm not a singer.
You make me your lover.
I'm not anyone's lover.
I'm not Pinocchio.
I'm a real boy.
You pull strings of my heart
and I love you for it.

It’s too much
It was all entirely too much
What if my lyrics aren't good enough for you
What if I put myself in a song and you don't listen
I could catch you with a melody or a key change
But I want it to be heard in the words that I say
Please find some sort of meaning in my words my darling

Until I sing to you I will understand

This is no story
This is just a plead
So please
Listen and hear
These words that I bleed

I could catch you with a melody or a key change
But I want it to be heard in the words that I say
Never again will it be said this way
Please find some sort of meaning in my words my darling

Until I sing to you
Please remember me
And these words that have been sung
Will never be heard the same
Hey is everything fine?
You will still about to shine
Get away from the rain
And **** all the pain
Dont ever think you deserve this
But I will remind you smile always please?
I know the world is unfair
But please I am here and I care
Dont be sad
For I will be mad
Rant to me all you want
So it will not haunt
Im always ready to listen
And wanna see your smile risen
Sooner or later the fire that i love about you is gonna turn my heart into ashes.

he tells me
that i’m good
i’m important
i’m loved

she tells me
that i’m kind
i’m funny
i’m sweet

he tells me
that i’m amazing
i'm beautiful
i’m understanding

they all tell me
that i’m easy to love
easy to want
easy to know

i tell myself
that i’m annoying
i’m too much
i’m hard to love

i don’t understand why i can’t see what they see
