Deep down inside
I have died
I will not lie
and try not to cry
deep down I’m sad
I feel so bad

But that was then this is now
come and give me a bow

Deep down inside
I have not lied
I love you till the end
our love; I will mend
deep down I’m smiling
we are so blinding
Everyday I’m so blue
I don’t have a clue
deep down I feel better
you are in the center

These pages

of white

are the

places

I know

you best.


where

I feel

you here

all around

me,


not a

shadow

but a

window

that you

see into

my heart.


you consume

my spirit

but it

is never

exhausted.


you are

a flame

within me

that warms

my soul,


and bends

me over

your sky,


to reach

but never

touch

the ground.


you are

light

to the

corners

of my

life that

need to

be seen,


to be

expressed

in these

words

that only

you can


bring from

me.


and why

that is

so is

not important,


just as

it is not

our right

to ask

of a

star falling

from the

sky if

it is only

for my

taking.


I will

only take

whatever

moments

you can

give me.


whatever

prayers

you might

have.


and ask

nothing

in return.


like the

rain

to a

field.


I just

grow


to you.

It's not in her touch,
It's not in her grace.
It's not in the soft
of the skin on her face.

It's not in her smile,
It's not in her teeth,
It's not in the spirit,
that rests underneath.

It's not in her laughter,
It's not in her warm guise.
It's not where you think...

but it's there...

...in her eyes.

People are loopy
People ain't right
Inside of their heads
Out of their minds

People are nutty
Loco coco bean
Imaginary buddies
Putty for brains

People are batty
Fruit loops that fly
Come in different colors
Confetti minds

People are special
They say with a wink
Jumped the train trestle
Over the brink

Pick one or the other
No answer is wrong
It's all the above
When people are off
