As i turned away
I saw tears streaming down
your face
but nothing could be done to
change the way I felt
leaving this small town had always been my dream
I hate I had to leave you behind but
nothing except you and the afternoon rain we loved to share
could have ever made me want to
stay in Marianna
You weren't ready to leave
so what was I to do
Please forgive me but
I had to leave
Don't forget me
I'll carry the thought of
you and I'll always be waiting
if you change your decision to
stay
I can't begin to...

Driven from my home
away from the norm
Errant thoughts I suppose
but
who's to know
Maybe not as crazy as thought
Now I feel free
leaving amongst
fresh air and trees
No demons torment me
freedom
I think, we shall see
if not
at least the rent is cheap

Never really knew you
Two
chance encounters, one just the other day
You said you missed me
Seemed kind of strange
The only way I knew to reply
Okay
I told you, I tried to call,
you said you saw
Confusing to say the least
you said you missed me
You just stood there smiling
I didn't know
what the fuck was going
on
I said I'll see you soon
You said, yes you will
real soon
How do I respond
I'm so confused
Without a word you
turned away
never did even wave
So damn strange
any how
It's me...

I don't write love poems on walls
never been that kind
I'll be you friend
I'll be there if you need
a helping hand
I'll write you songs
I'll hang you the moon
But
I don't write love poems on walls
and I don't promise
happily ever afters
I'll be honest to a fault
I'll tell you things you should
know
but not always what you want
to hear
I'll hold you tight
I'll share with you passion,
sweat and tenderness
but I won't write love poems on walls
and
I won't stay all night
