I cry for love and warmth-
Last night I slept alone-again-
Afraid you were sick I searched in vain,
What's done is finished and can't be undone,
To save what's left of me,
I've got to get away.
Criticisms and putdowns
Are all you have to say.
You are cold as ice to me.
Each word I say is viewed with scorn,
How cruel you let yourself be.
Just me and a cat or two.
I got up worried,and thought
I'd go looking for you.
Around the farm with my flashlight I ran.
So sad and relieved I was
To find you sleeping in the old van.
I've said that a time or two,
I never thought that I'd be saying that phrase
And applying it to me and you.
