A Jarring Melody

Beautiful

In my head, I got a picture of you

I keep lookin’ at it – wondering why I keep lovin you the way I do

You’re not true – not even close

But you’re better than those

Who can’t walk my mind;

Or find -

The little place with an empty frame

I wish you’d scribble your name

So that I’d know

That even when you’d go

You’d go only to come back;

In my head, I hear your voice grow louder

I keep hearing what you say – wondering why I love to hear you that way

You’re not true – not even close

But you’re better than those

Who will never say a word right –

At least you take that leap of faith

And try to say

The words that may

Bring peace, or something warm

You make me belong.

Ugly

I’m done staring at the picture – I’m over with the song

Something in me, wants to belong

More

Than before

Hold me now, no phantom’s touch

You know as much

That I want to hold you for real

Give me the feel

Of what you are

Not how I see you in my head

But keep me warm in my bed

Not ghostly whispers

I want them said

The words – you promised

In my dream

All night long

To you I belong.
