TEXAS (it's all big)

In my
room
it's
cold
and
soon
I’ll have
slept
the
afternoon

away…

The
leaves
are
falling
The
wind
is
calling

Your name

You left
me
when
I was
hurting
Took some
money,
my
favorite
shirt
I know
you can’t
understand
this
But I still
have to
go to work

Smell some
breakfast
Mother’s
cooking
But for
you
I could not
provide

I have
given
You have
taken
Love
was all
I had
inside

The stars
are out
The TV’s
showing
Another
guy
Who’s
better
knowing
That
his girl
has left
him too
I smile
and want
to be
with you

You can
fill
me
with so
much
life
But
without
you
I
swallow
knives

So what’s
wrong
I can’t
walk
If you
see me
You might
hear me
talk
To you

I can’t
breathe
I can
hear
Do you
know
I’ll fight
for you
You’re my
lover
I want no
other
I want
to wake
As our
dreams
come true

It’s life…

Walt - well written, well said. Chris  

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
