after jimmy webb, a little heartsick

the moon is a harsh mistress, for yu




i didn't hear from yu

 

 

~

 

honey, i don't need yu

but i want yu

i don't want yu, but i need yu

yu don't know it

but i'm sad tonight, at the same time

i have that feeling i get

when i miss yu and know you're coming

the feeling that wells up

and spreads and makes me smile

but i'm just sad tonight 'cause yu're not here

and i have that ache

i guess there's not much i can do about it, except think about yu

and maybe shed a tear or tu

 

~

 

i should be embarrassed by this, but i'm not

my hands are shaking

i feel sick, i'm the on the edge of the void and dying

alone by the side of road

in the desert, by a cliff, falling off the cliff, like that

only worse, like a bad dream

only worse, 'cause yu're not here, and i could handle being alone

before yu, but not now, not anymore

i'm a scared little bunny, caught out, with an owl swooping down on me

but if yu would just come and hold me, or let me hold yu

it would be alright

 

~

 

i love yu, g'night

You express so well that feeling we get late at night when when need someone who is not there. The later it gets the more we fall apart. There is vulnerability, sadness and expectation. Great work. The moon's a harsh mistress
and the sky is made of stone (The Joe Cocker version is the best).

There is a lot of vulnerability in this. We all eventually tire of standing alone.
