When you look into her eyes
I hope you see mine

Every time she laughed
He hugged her even tighter
And there, she felt safe.

I sit in silence
hearing only
your sleeping breath.

I have never felt
more comfort
from a single sound.

I hang up the phone.
*I wish you were home.

NO - YOU'RE DOING IT TO ME

My lovely...
I'm here to help
I want your pain
To clear your mind
To relieve your chest
From the heavy hurt.
Tears filled my eyes
When I read your words
God...
   Let them be lies.
   Let her be safe
   Protect her soul
I can't comprehend the thought
That you could be hurt
So please call me
I'll help you with the load

I love you my lovely
I love you I do
Time heals all
But I can help too

Beer.
Within which you hide
And that which you drink.

I wish I could cool your mind
as it does your throat
as it slowly slides down.
I wish I could ease your pain
That burns in that liquor
in which you now drown.

Years or days
months vs hours
why do we let time tell?
Where we are
and how we're doing?
Time is set
You must fit the qualification
Because Lord forbid you wed
Without proper justification
But years or days
months vs hours
Love is love
Period the end
Love is love
let it sink in
Cover you
and flow through
your head, heart,
and toes
Wash you
and spread through
your wings stretched wide
love is love
period the end
time is just a guide
