"How Are Things With Me..."

I was asked today...

"How Are Things With Me... "

 

Less than they were,

less than I wished,

too quiet -

not desperate,

not right but not wrong,

a touch lonely -

a touch crowded.

I wondered...

and listened -

but neither

about nor to ...me.

 

...not very numb at all.

I never liked crowded, all the voices telling me
over and over again, what I was trying
to forget ..

I always wanted to be alone, to think IT over
But life always butted in, and I lost my thoughts

I've listened to YOU, and I've heard ME , more times than I can remember

One hello can change a day, and one good-bye can cause a heart to stop , needing ..

Me.

[Chris]

Thanks Jazz... good thoughts.

[J. J. Nightingale]

my ears and my heart are getting bigger .. the Dr. says it's old age .. but I think it's so I can listen, better .. and have more room to love ..
Oh, YOU are welcome, anytime
