Your Poets Eyes

Hours become distressed and tiresome
In all your filth 
You were some what admire some 
You took truth and distorted it 
Right before this poets eyes 

I was an idea stolen
A compliment sealed with in a comment 
I wandered about 
In a young mans season of doubt
I wrote sing songs
To sing my way home

I was a walk of lies
Before I became this poets eyes
I couldn’t tell her goodbye 
So I wrote her a note 

Accustoms of a hopeless man, shy
I couldn’t tell her the truth 
So I whispered to her good night
Eased away her helpless sighs

Jerry, this is a deep and heartfelt poem. I have always liked your poetry, never found it to be "sing songs." You're far beyond that. Thank you for the Soup Mail. I thought this was very well written. The last two lines are incredible. Love, Carolyn
