Help me
Through this crisis
Of loneliness
That has taken control
Of me
Let your playful
Tenderness
Take me back to
Another day
Another way
Of looking at this
…this drama mess
I’m drowning in
I…need…you.
Help me in my quest
For sincerity
Unless
You would rather see me
Sleep walking
Through a make-believe reality
Wading in a river
Unfamiliar to me
I…need…you.
Not Bobbie Jo, or
Betty Sue
Nor all those who
Profess to be
The moon and stars
Of the night
For me
Caught up
In an early morning
Fantasy
Come…
Lay with me
Oh, I see
You’re back with your husband
And your lover is coming over
And you don’t have time for another
And…
WAIT!
I understand
You can’t come over
…can’t be with me
Like you’re supposed to
But it’s o’kay
I ain’t mad atcha.
