- To it really will be okay, Amy, you can calm down - ya know? Your life does not depend on this. I promise. I promise you.
Hey
I can't even reach you by phone,
Can't tell if it's you or me who's leaving the other alone
Don't want to bother you.
Want you to rest.
But I can't control you,
I can only do my best.
And of course I will fail
And of course its okay,
but it feels like a mess
Did I mess up?
Are you still up?
Can we pretend that we both grew up -
together -
this weather -
got me wishin' for times when we were better - off
often got me wondering:
Are you okay?
Are you with him?
Was it me? Did I push you away again?
I can't give you words that you never wanted to say,
But, hey -
it's okay.
It's just that lately I've been feeling like I'm a left over a bouquet,
an evening buffet -
getting ready to be thrown away.
I guess, what I really want to know is:
Am I just another chore for you at the end of the day?
So I decided you don't get anymore responses
Today I Learned:
TIL: Quakers believe that there is a piece of the divine or spirit or God in every human being. That each of us has an internal divine guidance within and, if followed, will lead you to salvation. That heaven is here and now on this Earth. There worship services are called meetings and consist of sitting in silence for 30-60minutes and standing and speaking if so moved and only if so moved.
