Robert Johnson Poet Rhyme

If You Looked At Me Like That

I would be the luckiest man on earth.
Heaven would open up and show me my rebirth.
Love is for the emptiness that fills my heart.
If you looked at me like that I'd never part.

The hours in the day just seem to slip away.
Sailing with this empty cargo just leaves me at bay.
All tied up and turned about, no mate to keep me straight.
If my prayer gets answered, I hope it's not too late.

Every time I see you I see love.
I get lost in the crowd of push and shove.
I give into the fear and disappear.
What I want to say, I'm not sure you want to hear.

I look for hope in a house of despair.
I reach for you, but your just not there.
I'm amazed at how time just keeps on going.
As I sit here all alone with no one knowing.

Debra Squyres December 28, 2011 at 9:20 AM I've seen that look in anothers eyes, directed in my direction. He loved me as I was, not looking for perfection. This we shared for many years, now all that's left is shedding tears....and memories that chase the fears. May you find it in your lifetime.

Elizabeth Wesley September 11, 2011 at 5:49 PM I've been looking at someone like that but he doesn't see the message in my eyes. It's so sad when the storm doesn't carry both together. But he's older, maybe too old.
