Just Another Day

 

Lean On Me

Too Cold To Feel The Fire

 

🔥Too Cold To Feel The Fire🔥

Fire lives in me

It always has........

Even though I love the rain

🔥

But some people only want the rain

And run to it

When fire comes near

🔥

Their hearts are cold

Perpetually cold

Though their facades portray a warmth

🔥

I've never understood that

The attraction of fire to water

The pull of warm to cold

🔥

But that's the way it sometimes goes

In life, in weather,

In love

🔥

Some, maybe most

Crave the heat and the flame

And the passion that blazes

🔥

Some, maybe most

Of the loves of my life

Ran to, then away from my fire

🔥

Their hearts, I thought warm

All too soon turned to ice

Ice, that my heart couldn't melt

🔥

A conundrum is a puzzling word

But apropos of love

For love is this and love is that

🔥

And one would think that love's a liar

For my love burns hot but always falls

For those hearts too cold to feel the fire.

My Darling Among Them Devils a song

My Darling Among Them Devils....a nutty song written on myspace for a guy

My Darling Among Them Devils

Let's see: Verse 1

Oh, my darling went north one dark cloudy day

To work with the yankees and such

To work in the factory to make us some money

And oh, Lord, I miss him so much.

Verse 2

Now, we've been a living with his momma and daddy

For nigh on about thirteen years

And we dream of having our own little trailer

But he never could find a job here.

Chorus

Oh, darling, my darling among all them devils

Up there in the cold all alone

Don't let them yankees change you, little darling

Work hard and then hurry on home.

Verse 3

Down here in the South, we're so loving and giving

Up there in the North, I've heard tell

That all of them yankees are cold hearted strangers

And most of them came straight from hell.

Verse 4

Your momma has baked you a big ole opossum

Your daddy has brewed you some "shine"

We miss you so much, dear, down here in the holler

Tell them yankee gals you are mine!

Chorus

Oh, darling, my darling among all them devils

Up there in the cold all alone

Don't let them yankees change you, little darling

Work hard and then hurry on home.

spoken sad part:

Oh, darlin', my darlin', among all them devils

A drankin' and livin carefree

Send me your paycheck or you'll find, little darlin

That they aint half as devilish as me.....

A Thousand Words

A Thousand Words

A thousand words

On twenty-five balled up pieces of paper later

I still have no idea how to say

What needs to be said

What should have been said

A hundred heartbreaks ago.

It 's just so hard

To find the words to properly convey

A tender farewell

A loving tone and a gentle goodbye

That will not wound

Someone already walking wounded.

I start and stop

Rewrite a refrain, revise an old rhyme

Throw in some honkey tonk lyrics

Soften it all with some bubblegum pop

And images of violins playing softly in the background.

I don't know why I bother

You would only sneer at the above stanza

It's heavy metal and anarchist beats you love

Punk rock so loud your eardrums bleed

And anything to do with pain. Especially mine.

See how my little hands shake?

I can hardly hold a pencil

I can barely see to write

My eyes are black, my soul is bruised

And I sit here trying not to hurt you.

If I could talk, I wouldn't

For that only makes you mad

Only makes you crazy..er than usual

When you walk through the door

Hell bent for hating and still needing love.

I don't know what happened to you

To make you be this way

To make you into a hollow man

But I've got to find a way to go

Before there's no me left.

I hear your footsteps now

Coming up the stairs

Hear you rehearsing new slurs

That you haven't used yet

Though their cold jagged points

 Have already hit home.

I hide the balls of paper

Underneath the bed

Throw the pencil into a drawer

Brush the tears from my cheeks

And turn up the corners of my mouth into a hideous smile

As you and your pain walk into the room.

A thousand words

Form in my brain

A thousand words stick on my tongue

I look at you and remember how you used to be

Before you let down your guard and took off your mask

You look so alone, so small and alone

But tomorrow, for sure, I'm writing that letter.
