So What
i've been told many times
i'm too sensitive
that may be so but so what
i'd rather be that way than
hard or cold-hearted
or even indifferent
i keep looking for some place
that's having a sale on thick skins
the portable kind
you can pull out of your purse
for when someone is being cruel
can't find one not even in the classifieds
i've always said sensitivity is
a good thing and if you don't agree
so what it doesn't do
any good to tell me any different
maybe if you could be in my skin
say for just one day
you'd be sensitive too

Something Else
what do men want
you say i don't know
but i know what
men want
you ask what then
men want something else
other than what
other than what they
have of course
you admit for some men
that's true
why waste what you have
worrying about
what you don't have
and what will you want
once you've lasso'd me
something else-or what?

Speechless
there are no words
i can say that could ever
express the depth on my pain
rendered speechless by
your abrupt departure
you left me at the precise
moment i needed you the most
your cutting remarks wounding
me as never before
you will not witness
the endless flow of tears
or know what hunger
left me wanting just your touch
or a bit of understanding
the kind most lovers
take for granted day by day
you, who i have waited for
six long years hanging on
in the hope that just once
you would level with me
instead of making promises
you never planned to keep
so much for long-distance romances
that leave you speechless
when they reach the bitter end

Spider In My Bed (Revison)
i found a spider
in my bed
and stood afraid
full of dread
since i was tired
dressed for bed
i dropped a bean bag
on his head
and hoped for sleeps sake
he'd be dead
the spider in my bed
though a bit crippled
by the blow
moved in my direction
albeit the crawl was slow
but it didn't
stand a chance
with all my dogs
fighting for the prize
resulting in it's demise
