I have no idea how we got from last Friday to this Friday so quickly but here we are again on Poetry Friday. My poem this week is actually the lyrics from a song that serves as an inspiration for one of my WIP's.
The poetry of songwriting is an art form in itself and I hope to do some songwriting myself in the future. Anyway, this song is written by Johnny Rzeznik of The Goo Goo Dolls, who was voted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2008. Enough said.
Without You Here
Your love’s a gathered storm, I chased across the sky
A moment in your arms, became the reason why
You’re still the only light, that fills the emptiness
The only one I need, until my dying breath
And I would give you everything
Just to feel your open arms
And I’m not sure I believe
In anything I feel
And now, now that you’re near
There’s nothing more without you
Without you here
I’m trying to believe
In things that I don’t know
The turning of the world
The color of your soul
That love could kill the pain
That truth is never vain
It turns strangers into lovers
And enemies to brothers
Just say you understand
I never had this planned
And now, now that you’re near
There’s nothing more without you
Without you here
My head lies to my heart
And my heart it still believes
It seems the ones who love us
Are the ones that we deceive
But you’re changing everything
You’re changing everything in me
And now, now that you’re near
There’s nothing more without you
Without you here
What inspires you?
