Wire

Humming like copper wire
I'll stand up
Deliver the goods and
sit down again
And it'll be all right
He'll help me through and really
I'm okay

Desolate

There's a lot of futility
I can tell you now
Now that you know me
I lift myself into
Being all right
Hard to describe, but
It's a motion into the light
I wish I had more to give the world
I wish I were someone else
Or nobody

Lonely

Alone, the clock ticking
Slowly and steadily
I don't know myself in the silence.
It's too much
But I have to do something
in the interim time
I can't do nothing
How I wish I had someone
Just for me
Me alone

Her

Don't know who I am or where I"m going
But it's better now
Having lived through the worst of it
I saw her car today and
My heart skipped a beat
But I didn't have to talk
What wasn't said was
volumes

Loss

I have a black, shriveled heart
Parched and gasping
Knowing I can't do anything
I'm grieving

Regret

If I could read your mind
I'd curl up next to your ear
Whisper truths to you
In a sweet lilt that you couldn't deny
I'd take back whatever it was
And we'd go back to where we were

sorry

I forgive you
And it frees me,
I'm flying unfettered.
You probably didn't know
I needed to forgive but
I'm telling you, I feel better
And now I can face you
Possibly rebuild what was lost
That's if you forgive me.
