I'm not alone
Not in my mind
I have my words
Of different kinds
Some words of love
Some words of pain
Of hurt, obsession,
And pride so vain
A word so kind
It melts your heart
And keeps you warm
In winters dark.
A word so harsh
It blows across
The dusty plains
Like winter stark.
A word of hope
A word of prayer
A word to make you
Wish you were here.
These words are mine
I give them away
And ask, in turn,
No price you pay,
But give me words
To hoard as mine
A song, a quote,
To pen my lines.
So give me magic,
Dim the lights,
Show me joy
Or steal my sight.
