" Good girl." (September 27)

wrote this back at basic...

 

Now I can act like a man,

Like I don't care,

But we both know;

Since I left you behind,

You'll probably go. 

I understand ,

You can't stay alone - forever - you gotta grow,

Take root, 

Branch out,

Start a life with someone new. 

There's nothing I could really say except "what you want me to do?" 

16 hours from home,

That's 16 hours from you. 

   And that hurts deep as hell.

A broken heart, incurable even if you used glue,

So these words that I pen -

I hope that'll due.

 

Good girl,

 

 

Turn your eyes from me, they're overwhelming, the work of artists' hands...
