I Look At You
why do i sit here
all scared and stuff
if you asked
me why? i'd say
i don't know
is this the quiet
before the storm?
if it is, lets get on
with it because
i don't like it.
i should not be
scared of anything
after what i have
gone thru these
half-passed of
lately.
darling, help me
to understand
how you can be
so loyal when i
am so unloveable
i want to be very,
beautiful for you.
please, please make
everything alright and
do all the things that
you do to make me
SIMMER DOWN.
so, now i do lay
me down to sleep
and i keep creeping
closer to you all night
as you sleep as if
you haven't
a care in the world
and i just worry.
to my beloved, janetta
