GAIL'S GARDENS
she took my creativity
put it in a bottle
poured it out like wine
then consumed it
she took my life energy
governed the throttle
drove it into the ground
did not exhume it
I gave up my writing time
for family
she took everything until
there was nothing left of me
I gave up my music
I gave up my soul
I trusted her to nurture me
I gave her control
she took my humanity
put it in a tin can
pushed it over a cliff
then walked away
she took my hope and sanity
and all that made me a man
left me lost and adrift
no talk today
I gave up my reason and rhyme
for family
followed her evrywhere until
there was nothing left of me
I gave up my music
I gave up my soul
I trusted her to nurture me
my life was the toll
and all the friends I had before
must have wondered where I had gone
told them I was falling in love
trusting them to carry on
and all the addresses and numbers
were taken in her loving care
but when I looked around to find her gone
I found nothing else was there
and now I can contact no one
as if I'm no longer here
but I know I have many precious friends
somewhere... out there... somewhere
I gave up my writing time
for family
gave up all my friends and fans
until she was all I could see
and then when she dissappeared
nothing was left of me
I gave up my music
I gave up my soul
I gave up my writing
for a new role
and then they were gone
and then she was gone
and then it was gone
now I have no role
Writing My Role
