a look

the faraway look in my eyes

means I’ve got something on my mind

so bare with me

a while longer

I’m trying to find some way

of growing stronger

you don’t know what I’ve seen

the demon of my life

caught up with me again

and I’m trying to walk it through

but I can’t find the bridge

and the tunnel’s in darkness too

if you wonder by any chance

what I think I need

it would be a pure ear

that could listen without fear

it would be a poets heart

that could see me from a start

make me be

what I need to be

make me see

what I need to see

and go back to rest again

it would be some kind of friend
