The fancy words you speak.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The fancy words you speak. 

 I do not care if your poems are right or wrong or if one of the commas is gone. I'm sick of hearing that love is only a word and all I see are paper rings and things. I want to hear you sing it doesn't matter if it's good or bad I promise it won't make me sad. All I want to do is make you happy and glad. Words are only a thing in the air all I want in this world is for you to show me you care. Words only scare me though they all come with a big fee. I will not pay that fee because it's me and I'm free. Give your girl a kiss good night every night and hold her tight when she feels uptight hold her hand when she don't understand. I see beauty and all you see is ugly. I don't get that kiss good night every night I don't get the hand to hold to help me understand I don't get anyone to hold me tight when I'm uptight but you do. All I have left is maybe a dream or two

About this poem

This is the most horrible poem no commas no nothing but I'll take it over everything. Words to me don't mean a thing. You show me. That's what I want to see.
