A Song

[John Henry]

Fantasy no longer satisfies me.
I need your touch; your empathy;
Your soft, moist lips; your warm embrace;
Your loving eyes; your exquisite taste.

When we're together, you are my all,
My Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall
You soothe away the pain and fuss,
When you and I become just 'us'.

Sometimes my jealousy betrays me.
Although I know you never would.
A little voice inside persuades me
that if I turned away you could.

I always want to let you in,
But every time I start,
I fear my fumbling touch wil crush
the petals of your heart.

[John Henry]

I've worked out some chords for this. They're a bit generic, but they might give a better feel for the song for anyone who's interested. I'll put them up so I can remember them, anyway.

[John Henry]

That came out wrong. Anyone know how to keep spaces?

[Angel]

This is wonderful!

Your last line pulls on me most as it is my very fear.

Thank you for sharing.

(You expressed yourself well.)

[John Henry]

Thanks Angel

I was inspired by what you said yesterday, so I thought I'd have a go.

I feel wierd just posting random "Good work"s and "Fantastic"s so I try to keep my compliments for the pieces I really enjoy. I'm a sucker for meter, and things that can sound good to the ear without meaning as well as the meaning behind the words, this is good stuf.
