You must think I’m a crocodile And these tears Don’t taste of salt You must think My words are idle Hold no fears Or substance Just small Small talk That cannot Reach your Inner ear You must think Me a fool To folly after you And your Self serving Silence |

Oh well uh you might think I’m delirious The way I run you down But somewhere sometimes When you’re curious I’ll be back around Oh I think that you’re wild And so-o uniquely styled, I'll just let the CARS speak their lyrics for reply! nice work, EBM! jeff |

Well, EBM: you're so honest telling us your feelings that I think you are adorable. But maybe that's because I see you through the lens of my heart. Dadygoose Hey, nobody's human! |

Yo dear EBM, I must admit, I don't understand this at all. Of course I'm just an ignorant city boy. Here's hoping you're doing good. Love Bobby |

Oh, wonderful. Concise but it says so much. I love the "crocodile tears." Also, good use of slant rhyme ("salt" and "talk".) |

DadyG-you are too kind. Thank you for being so accepting of my work and acknowledging my truth. ebm ------------ Bobby darlin' you're far from ignorant because you're a city boy. As for myself, I'm hangin' in. ebm |

do crocodile tears not taste of salt? :-) haven't run into too many of them where I've been and don't really know.. strong wording ma'am... obvious the silence here is not golden.. |

No, it is the kind of silence intended to make you feel both conspicuous and invisible. |

I know something of that silence... and my comment wasn't intended to make light of it in any way... Silence creeps in easily some times... and others it is a sudden wall you run into, but the end result is usually alienation and hurt on both sides of conversations never had... |
