spinning

world spins madly on
deb talan_steve tannen

woke up and wished that i was dead, with an aching in my head, i lay motionless in bed. i thought of you and where you'd gone, and let the world spin madly on. everything that i said i'd do, like make the world brand new, and take the time for you. i just got lost and slept right through the dawn, and the world spins madly on. i let the day go by. i always say goodbye. i watch the stars from my window sill. the whole world is moving and i'm standing still. woke up and wished that i was dead, with an aching in my head, i lay motionless in bed. the night is here and the day is gone, and the world spins madly on. i thought of you and where you'd gone, and the world spins madly on.

helpless

there is not much
that i can do.

life has robbed her
of so many things
and yet she has
persevered.

she is an
amazing woman
because of it,
but she's tired.

i feel helpless
as i watch
from a distance.

everything and nothing

her favorite part of the evening was the same as mine...sitting by the river, sipping a drink, and conversing. but it was her reason why that i liked so much. because we talked about everything and absolutely nothing at all.
