Come Love (And Let Me Whisper To You)
Oh love-
i still can not
believe i didn't
dream up yesterday
(you looked so
handsome and
so happy!)
oh love-
i would not
have thought it
possible that
someone like you
could fall
in love with me
i couldn't sleep
last night because
of you (i kept
thinking about how
nice it would be
to have you near me)
come love
and let me
whisper to you
i will tell you
how todays rain
played a love song
on my window pane
and you turned my
heavy heart into
a light one-
(life was never
quite as beautiful
as this) my love!

Crazy Love
this feels awful
i'm not sure loving you
is worth the pain
you can either make
or break my day
by your attention
or lack of it
you are quickly
becoming something
close to an obsession
i like everything there
is about you
your eyes say it all
you move about zombie-like
my enchanted master
deep down i know
you lack the courage to
tell it like it is
so instead you stare
sometimes winking
at your love slave
willing to risk nothing
you can keep your
hungry eyes and empty arms
your well-kept secrets
i'll keep my fantasies
and shattered dreams
then crawl back into my shell
and silently mourn for
the love which is just
out of my reach

Don't Ever Say I Didn't Love You
don't ever say i didn't love you
with everything i had
of all the people in all the world
you picked me to treat bad
i wasn't the one who cheated
nor the one who always liked to fight
if you'll remember it was you
who tried to make a wrong thing right
don't ever say i didn't love you
the way that a wife should
if anything most everyone would say
i treated you too good
i wasn't in it for myself
i loved you as good as anybody could

Don't Remember Me
When my number comes up
and death draws near
i will depart this world
without regrets or fears
i hope i go as quietly
as i have lived my life
one full of both joy and strife
i don't want to be reembered
for being poetically correct
nor for awards my work begets
when you think of me
my last hope will be that
you see me as someone who
lived their dream of
connecting with humanity
through the languge of
my heart poetically
