Another girl
All I need is just a hug from my mom
#10word

Notes from you, you've left behind.
I read them always; all the time.
They remind me of how you used to be mine; the one and only on my mind.
Notes from you, you've left behind.
They are like snowflakes; not one is the same.
The one thing unchanged is your name.
Scribbled at the top with a heart to dot the "i".
Notes from you, you've left behind.
Notes from you, you've left behind.
Left behind like you've left me.
These notes still, I will forever read.
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

When I fall asleep my eyes meet yours.

I'm so sorry.

For avoiding you,
Ignoring you.

Feeling jealous
When you talk to other girls.
Yet not bothering
To make the first move.

When I do,
I'm sorry
If I appear clingy.

I'm not good enough for you.

But I wonder,

Does all this matter to you?

Sorry, for disturbing you.
Dug out some old stuff I'd written.

Night from a railroad car window
Is a great, dark, soft thing
Broken across with slashes of light.

MY people are gray,
  pigeon gray, dawn gray, storm gray.
I call them beautiful,
  and I wonder where they are going.
