You Know

I watch you with a deep despair.
I want to take it away and make the pain disappear,
But sometimes it feels like I make it worse.
You set it down in verse sometimes,
I listen to the lonely rhythms coursing out from beneath your skin
I think to myself; "Don't look or you'll fall in"
But I can't help it, love, you're part of my life
My existence
The way I live.

A bond so tight, a love so deep, a feeling that I'll forever keep;
Closeness, ever burning need,
I feel a seed inside me grow, something I thought I'd never know.
I never was a well-liked child but you two, you two, found within
My cloistered flesh a speck, a twig worth kindling.

And times gone past I've felt me glow,
Inside, outside, watch me go!
Laughing, joking, gasping air, singing loudly, I don't care.
It's down to you that I feel free, that I've grown and learnt about...about me.
You've stroked my hair and wiped my tears
Seen me thrive throughout the years
Good trips, bad trips, road trips...Oh
My God.
How I love you so.
