I Write Poetry

A lot of my poems are songs. This one goes back to 85. It has about the most complicated chord progression and picking pattern of any of my songs.

[b]Understand Me[/b]

I'm left without a single thing to say
You just walked out yesterday.......
My heart wouldn't let me stand in your way,
I'm a little hurt ........but I'm okay

I just wonder what it was that made you leave,
Did you see something that you didn't want to see?
;some variance or insincerity?
a darker side of me?

[i]You'd think I would have wanted to steal you blind......
hurt you some way........maybe waste your time.
I only wanted to hold your hand...
hoping maybe you could understand...........me.[/i]

So I guess things kind of took a turn for the worse,
It's all a matter of who gets burnt first.
I'll sit here and try to write the next verse......
Saints will pray while sinners curse........

So you go your way, lady..........I'll go mine.
I know everything will work out fine.
I'm just an actor who forgot his line,
and this is just another wound that'll heal in time......but you......

[i]You'd think I would have wanted to steal you blind;
hurt you someway ..........maybe waste your time.
I only wanted to hold your hand...........
hoping maybe you could understand......me.
