Just Jana

Wide

Standing there, looking in at him
I am frozen; He’s not the same
Not quite sure; He leaves so quickly
No good-byes; Who is to blame?

Thirty-six or seventy-two
hours, n living on over drive
Barely surviving; getting high
Over the edge; to the grave I dive

Every night I drove myself home
I would pull over to the side
While the engine softly hummed
I’d close my eyes, my mouth was wide…
Wide open
Please listen to my words
You know what’s in my heart
And I know that I am heard

Fire in my soul, my mind awake
Purpose there is, now lots at stake
Family forever; daughter n son
So long for now; life’s what we make!

Every night I drove myself home
I would pull over to the side
While the engine softly hummed
I’d close my eyes, my mouth was wide…
Wide open…
Please listen to my words
You know what’s in my heart
And I know that I am heard


For Mike



*I wrote this for Mike last night. I know I'm not a songwriter and everyone can write poetry, but I thought I'd try to do something I haven't done. So here's the words to a future song. I felt inspired to write this, now I just have to find the right notes...wish me luck!
