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.
