Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
