Oh, yeah. I had promised a poem.
You Were All Needed (When I Called You)
You were all I needed when I called you.
I had to have some shelter from the wind.
You were there, a shoulder I could lean on.
All alone and laughing with my friends.
I have never been what I pretended.
But no one wants their lonliness to show.
When every now and then I fall to pieces,
I think that you're the only one to know.
I think I'm lost and I can't hide what I can't seem to find inside.
I know you always knew me well
and understood my weakness.
Years ago we were so young and crazy.
And what has changed except we're older now?
Fewer are the dreams that seem worth chasing.
I grew so jaded and I don't know how.
I think I'm lost and I can't hide what I can't seem to feel inside.
I know you knew that I was prone
to slip into the darkness.
You were all I needed when I phoned you.
A helping hand holding on the line.
There's one of us that always needs decieving,
and that's the heart I'll have to claim as mine.
I think I'm lost and I can't hide what I can't seem to find inside.
I know you always knew me well
and understood my weakness.
The only one that knows me well enough
to know my weakness.

Did you see my comment and link for the Carnival of Poets? I think he'd be pleased to know there is another poet blogger on the block.

My favorite chunks. I just like the ideas the convey. I have been there or I am there or I will be again. -Jn
Gunner,
Yes, I went there. I followed a few of the links. It was interesting and I am deciding what to do. I thank you for passing it on to me. I had never heard of it.
