WERE, WAS, ISN’T, AIN’T
Many words were at my disposal
As I recounted my proposal
Not upon my bended knees
But all it took was a sacred “please”
Flowery words could have flourished with my speech
I could have said “remember how infatuated we were on that sun-bleached beach”
There were words whirling inside my head
Every syllable that soon might be said
I could have talked about a love so great which was ever ours
A union that brought together two forces with fourfold powers
I could have talked about the fact that we were a team
And how it all started with one starry bright dream
I could have told you why the universe deems what it brings
I could have told you how you drenched me in wondrous things
But then you drenched me in depression that caused me to do anything except die
………………………..I could have said so many things but in sum and total I said, “goodbye”

When you left me for someone better
Did you think before you said go!
When you seen me slide through your shredder
Was my pain all you wanted to know
Left in this place called forever
Where theres nothing but ice and snow
We always think theres someone better
Until there fear begins to show
But you and me...
Are we just like all the rest
We're looking for something something to hard
Or just moving to fast I guess
Like a fire growing when you feed it
Do you love it enough to leave it
When you look at yourself in the mirror
Is it you? do you really know
Do you shout back at the mirror
Til'it shatters down to your feet below
When you shout they'll be no answer
When you scream no one will know
When your love leaves you forever
You become an empty box without a bow
Its me...I guess
Am I just like all the rest
Is it something I did or something I said
You enjoy it when i'm in distress
In a lions mouth I can't believe it
Its my blood you spill to feed it
When everyone seems out of order
When you think its you just say no!
If they shout don't even answer
Because they hurt and you already know
Let it go forget about feelings
Because there heart is not in your show
When you left me for someone better
Did you think before you said go!
Was your guilt worse than a fever
Did your heartbeat so so slow
Did you feel like you were dying
I'll let the earth cover your toes
Its you and me
Like so many others we just can't see
We leave to explore cause we think there is more
Until we realize what we see
Like a heavy weight on your shoulders
Will you promise to love and hold her

Time doesn't pass when you want it too,
Not sure what I else I can say but I'm going true.
I feel like I'm becoming robotic like C-3P0,
Yet the radio has me so sick of love songs like Ne-Yo.
I wonder what they have that I don't or what is true love,
Once thought it was close to perfection like finding your other glove.
But now I have myself lost looking for someone to tell me I'm right,
Not sure when but I do know i'm coming close to ending this fight

Well, I’ve been down
on memory lane
Searching signs for my place
Deep inside I safely hide
My scarred guitar ‘n’ case
Guess I never played it when
Yesterday we could’ve been
Singin’ harmony, just you and me
Instead of whisperin’ the blues
But I doubted
(Don’t forget about this love)
that we wanted it this way
Yet without it
(Don’t you see?
Without your love)
I can’t find the strings to play . . .
No more (Repeat line 4x)
Kinda like that broken string
Missing Hue is all I sing
I’m just out of tunes
Empty, like fool moons
That the blues
won’t wash away
The guitar I hold at night
Don’t take your place
The guitar I hold at night
Won’t ever replace
Your love (Repeat line 4x)

About this poem:
After my 2nd (final) divorce, I found myself lonely & missing my daughters. The solace inspired my playing guitar & songwriting, though mostly depressing sad songs (not necessarily the "blues"). Even though I didn't want the wicked ex back, I could see how mainstream listeners might relate to having lost a love. Many double-entendres:
"down" = southbound -or- depressed
"signs" = roadway -or- symbolic direction
"inside"/"hide" = put my guitar there -or- as fugitive from law
"'n' case" = guitar in case -or- hide my felony charges (since resolved)
"strings" = guitar strings -or- "strength" -or- "connection"
"Kinda like" = "sort've similar to" -or- "sort've enjoy"
"Missing Hue" is another song I wrote: "Hue" = color -or- "you"
"out of tunes" = out of tune_ (off key) -or- uninspired to write songs
"fool moons" = white w/hole of full moon -or- drop trou to blow raspberry (foolish moon)
"blues won't wash away" = blue cloudy night won't make full moon disappear, nor will sadly singing inspire happy melodies.
"Guitar I hold" = hour-glass figure is poor substitute for loving woman

A loving heart ... I do see in thee.
A faint glow on your face.
Yet, of what use to be...
And now lost to her, her place...
What pain does she hide....
For all to see...
Her heart must have died...
Bound in dark sea...
Pray thee eyes were open...
Her smile to return...
Her hurt unspoken...
The pain she felt earned...
What pain does she hide for all to see...
Her beauty is still there........ just hidden from me.

your the light to my darkness the eyes to my vision without
you im just a blur fading heplessy through the hands of time
as if my past exstance diddnt exist like a theif in the night
you stole my heart from the second we met we never been
apart, not just the rest of my life but all of eternity i
want you by my side this i swear for my love i will not hide
your beatuy exceeds my preception of anthing far behind
amazing, not even the world and all of its beauty compares to
your prefection, Im like dust in the wind without you
invisible to the world i was dead inside, heartless with no
soul i was cold my mind was fried im lucky to be alive, the
day we met fate played its part and forfilled our destiney,
when your gone i just want you next to me, not even the fire
from a thousand suns could compare to the pain ive felt in
the past now your gone i realize nothing last's my world came
down and crashed you took what i thought i diddnt have my
heart and now you can bury me in this unforgiven eternity
because nothing is eternal ashes to ashes dust to dust from
love to lust i poured my out my soul and gave you my trust in
return my depature is a must

All the novacaine in the world could not dull the ache you left in your wake
The love is gone, and its place nothing can take
Thief! Criminal! Come back with my heart!
You take my heart, and I cannot breathe
Guess that’s what happens when YOU seek to deceive
You get the happily ever after and I am left to bleed
Feeling pathetic about my own sick need
I only hope for speed
When you succeed
In killing me...
Do soulless people survive?
In a body, in a shell-
In this kind of hell?

I find myself again
Trapped in the space between
The want and the need
The place between dirty and clean.
The days march by, keeping time
Perfect little soldiers they are
Day after day I climb
Even when the journey feels so far.
To give up is to let you win
To give up would be a sin
After all, I did let you in.
So its all my fault again.
The days seem long
Countless and boring
I hit the bong
The rain is pouring,
And you, You are snoring...

The many nights of convo,the tears that fell from your face,your hurts,your fears....i was there...to comfort you,my queen,you meant more then life to me,you were my goddess,i put you before the creator,you were my rib...the other part of me,my unseen misery faded away the day you said that word to me. you were my lover,the ground you walk upon i worshipped the very essence of you,i became vulnerable,open to your charisma,you seduced me,your hidden valleys engulfed me,your secret garden... where i planted the seed of evolution became my weakness. leaving me speachless i cant describe how... lies,deceit & trickery,all was apart of your qualities, self hatred infultrated by sweet smiles & false hope of a happy ever after,you penetrated the core of me,broken the walls of sercurity....judas has kissed me with his soft lips,now i die a slow death,heartache....why didnt you tell me your heart never belonged to me.

About this poem:
Dealing with my emotions!!!

Can You Manage?
A tough tear clinging, holding tight to an single eyelash…
Wishing this human being would quit batting them! Spraying the world with emotions that should have been kept to her self…
A war between the heart and the mind in which neither are winning but a battle to prove who is on top but this tear is struggling to survive…
It has seen all of its friends come and go slowly falling from those heavily wet tear ducts…
She has never cried for joy but only from pain as that single tear screams in agony…
Its silent cries remain unheard because the mind has blocked all connections to the soul! Mumbled words to the one above it releases that tight grip engraving its pain down her cheek….
This will be the last time the only time a tear fights for what it loves!
Wanting to feel happy and not grief!
-Jessica Spann
