Inspired By Etta James

Something told me it was over When I saw you and him talking Something deep down in my soul said, cry boy When I saw you and that man, walking arround I would rather, I would rather go blind girl Than to see you, walk away from me woman, and all So you see, I love you so much That I don't want to watch you leave me baby Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no uh uh Inspired by the beautiful words of Etta James but conjured by the essence of my soul Too be without in this world I am blind Lost to the sight of true love that sense I have no more I don't wanna be free not captured not held not contained In this cold world free is alone and alone caused me so much pain I cry not for what you were but what you are still to me Crying because my life not is not complete but happier than completely without you would ever I be. Etta james poured her heart out and beautifully mine did receive inspiration to express my love liked or not unto thee I'm hopeless, I'm unhealthy, I'm whatever sounds good I'm just not crazy because my heart loves you just like it should.
