Words As Blue As The Sky Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

Words As Blue As The Sky



I thought of you today
But it didn't do me any good
You tell me how much you care for me
But you must think my heart is made of wood
Thought maybe you'd write now and then
You surely could
If you thougth of me at all
I'm sure you would
But you'll just casually dropp by
a week from now
with an 'I miss you'
and words as blue as the sky
and I just wonder why you even try
because it's just a lie
You're just keeping me here
Thinking you've got me hooked
That I need you too much to say goodbye
That if you left for good I would cry
I care about you much. Don't know why
I'm treated better by strangers who pass by
at least they mean what they say
and aren't here just for play
I have affection for you
but you can't see
You only see a part of me
and miss the heart of me
From far away I treasure you
and when you're here
I feel the pleasure of you
and by and by
even if it is a lie
I let you in my heart
and try to make you a part
because I need you more than you can see
as you put me on a shelf and diminish me
I've got more heart and soul than any two men
But I've needed someone since I don't know when
and when you came I thougth I found my soulmate and my friend
with a heart of gold and kindness to lend
someone who cared about me enough to defend
and help my broken heart to mend
but now I see I am alone
You didn't care enough to write
and even if you could, you wouldn't dare to phone
and so my heart wanders for a home
In some other distant zone
but lately you appear in my imagination
as if you were my fated destination
as if your words of rescue were true
and that you wished you could bring a change
and bring happiness and rearrange
the man you saw as good and kind
you're someone who stays on my mind
But your silence does remind
You've let me slip away
and you've changed your mind
There is nothing I can really do or say
Happiness taunts me then fades away
and breaks my heart all over, the same way
feeling someone I feel love for drifting away.
But I care about you anyway
and hang onto a distant dream that maybe love will find a way
I hang my head
and try not to cry
or wonder why
I just pray
God give me strength to bear another lonely day
seems every time I dare to care about someone
and let them in my heart
they go away
If I was stronger I'd leave this place
and wouldn't stay a minute longer
feeling the longing yearn
of waiting for your return
You said when we spoke it was enchanted
In this broken heart a distant seed of love you planted
and I just want you to know
Love needs sunshine to blossom and grow
Please kiss me gently before you go
Because your kiss I wished to know
Like the Winter longs for it's first snow
