I Look At You

why do i sit here
all scared and stuff 
if you asked
me why?  i'd say
i don't know

is this the quiet
before the storm?
if it is, lets get on
with it because 
i don't like it.

i should not be
scared of anything
after what i have
gone thru these 
half-passed of 
lately.

darling, help me
to understand
how you can be
so loyal when i
am so unloveable

i want to be very,
beautiful for you.

please, please make
everything alright and
do all the things that
you do to make me
SIMMER DOWN.

so, now i do lay
me down to sleep
and i keep creeping
closer to you all night
as you sleep as if
you haven't 

a care in the world

and i just worry.



to my beloved, janetta
