I'm Doing Just Fine
I wake up to the sizzle
the sound of the griddle
my babe making me breakfast
half naked
kissing her neck before some morning sex
my mind being so far from
anything but her ways
of healing my pain
I just can't see any reason
to waste these lines
about a story that's not worth telling
no, there's no reason I can find
to waste these words
about a girl
who's drowning in her own world
heading outside to see
the last of the morning dew
my neighbor says hello
so we talk for awhile
showing nothing but love, no hate
and that's the kind of start to the day
I can appreciate
guess I would be lying
to say I never think about the past
it's just hard to face the truth
that made me cowardly
not anymore, not ever again
now that's just her world
but enough of about that...
when the sun goes down
I take the family to the carnival
the lights dim compared to the joy
nothing better in this world
than holding my lover
next to the illuminating ferris wheel
yes, there was a time
when I was held back
by someone who only wanted
to cry about her problems
she twisted things
blamed me for all those problems
so I say to this girl
stay in your own world
and I'll stay in mine
because to me, sweety
that's just fine
the sound of the griddle

So happy to see you have good things going on in your world. Focus your love and attention where you feel it is of most benefit. Spending time on joy is never a waste.

sweetie, this was a painful but pleasurable read..
- painful because of the circumstance
- pleasurable because at some point you recognized the feeling of what was going on
silence takes over me, this one sliced me deeply
