SHARP REVERIE

Companionless I sit after a long day at work,
husbands away but that doesn't hurt.

I am I woman with girly needs,
although sometimes I wish my heart didn't bleed.

Psychology makes me afraid,
if I step out of my reverie
I'll go madly insane.

Stop these voices in my psyche,
I know there has to be somebody else like me.

If I let go and stopped being afraid,
I'd have to question my own dishonor and disreputable shame.

So I'll sheepishly go on ahead,
sitting at home with my life shifting in shallow and appalling dread.

What I am is what I am Are you what you are, or? Oh, I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks Religion is a light in the fog I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

NIPPY

Nippy    She is my iceberg. I have only glimpsed a sneak peek while she hides herself beneath I tell her she is sinking Doing everything I can to thaw the frost on her lips g ives me cracks no one can see as  I watch my glacial queen drift away  in unpredictable seas away from me... Joy4no1
