Spooky Girl...

The Gypsy in my soul
who wandered into my life
when i needed it most
when i was full of anger and distrust
and a soft voice and a gentle touch
saved me for a while...
Remembering the crooked smile,
the laugh like rain upon a roof
no hidden agendas
just simple truths we told each other
and as the years took their toll
and i tried to gain some control
somehow even in the blackest hole
a fond memory drew me back
and of all the things i lack
and all that i can never have back
somehow this train is back on track
because now it is my turn to do the same
and there is not shame in this
there is no game in this
and certainly no one to blame
in case you missed
the point i'm trying to make...
