Staring at the screen
Waiting at the phone
Missing you
Feeling so alone
Strumming my guitar
Wishing on the
same star we were
Staring at,
long ago
Missing you so
Staring at the screen
Waiting at the phone
Missing you
Feeling so alone
Strumming my guitar
Wishing on the
same star we were
Staring at,
long ago
Missing you so
Do not pressume
that I will be your lady
Do not assume
that I am just your baby
There have been fools before
That have been so deceived
It’s not to be believed…
But don’t despair.
here i go again
falling head first
stumbing over
my own feet
don’t
don’t make me leave you
don’t say goodnight
don’t let me turn out the lights
all alone
“I’m afraid of the mice”
don’t
ever let go of me
please
just keep me here
don’t leave
and
don’t make me leave you,
dear
I’m afraid of smothering you
like a favorite pet-
afraid of loving you too much.
I’m not afraid of getting hurt
So long as you love me in return
If only for a little while
But I’m afraid of being too fond
Of scaring you off – I always have been
But you’re breaking me of that
Slowly
With the dear peices of the words you say
and the way you look at me
from halfway to eternity
i remember the curls
little girl, little girl,
that dangled around your face
you looked up at me with your wide, brown eyes
and asked me to lift you up
so you could touch the moon
childhood passes…
the moon is gone
you severed your curls
with the kitchen scissors
how is it
saying goodnight
cuts like a knife
the empty ache around me
around my arms
penetrates
the inside of me
when you are far away
funny,
I can look at your name now
and not feel pulled to you
like gravity
won’t you, please
just
send yourself
across the telephone wires?
in the envelope
of your dear letters
addressed to me…
I’m aching
desperatly
to see you…
come and get me,
won’t you?
