You were too wrong
To love me right
Too broken to mend
Too distracted to see
Too warm by my fire
To set me free
More than a lover
You were
My friend
I believed in you
Trusted you

It seems they're all I've ever heard
Lies
Told by needy souls
With wells too deep
To ever be filled
And yet I tried
And still do
Big lies
Little white lies
Omissions

Sweet darkness
Only in your embrace
Do I find peace
Like an embryo
In the womb
Safe and warm
Over the years
You
Have become my companion
Shelter
From the perils of life

Have I ever told you
You’re full of shit?
One lie to the next
You never quit

If you weren’t so freakin
Insecure
You’d realize I love you
You’d be secure

A book with endless pages, written in words that I couldn't read
Lying there beside me, as he once did
Ocean waves washing gently against
All that he was

I once loved a man
Who lived in a pipe
He slept all day
And smoked all night

When he was high
No one loved me more
But when he ran out
I got beat to the floor

One moment quite confident

I used to be AFRAID
Of so many things
That it makes my head hurt
To list them
Afraid of dreams
Afraid of the dark
Afraid of the light
Afraid of God
Afraid of the Devil
Afraid of people

Is it you?
Is it possible
That someone's touch
Could feel this good?
The sound of your voice
Sets my soul on fire
Your eyes
Seem to go through me
To my soul
You must have heard me

If only
You could see
What I see
Through my eyes
You are very different
I never see
The stories you tell
I see the reasons
That you tell them
I don't ponder
Money you once had

If you know what you want
Then get it
If it's placed in your hand
Then take it
If it ain't what you need
Then leave it
If it feels good to ya
Then squeeze it
If it's too hot to hold onto

My Man...
Appreciates
That I ADORE him
And understands that in order to be his confidant, lover, partner and friend
I must be all that I can be
He knows that I will put my needs aside

Sweet seduction
Passion
Heat
Like a train gaining momentum
Slowly you realize
You are speaking through touch
