I've got a really good heart, I just can't catch a break....

So, I've not updated my blog in a while and to make up for it I'll put up a couple of poems that I wrote last night. Try not to puke on your keyboard.

Memphis,Tennessee

Dear Tennessee,
I love you so much it hurts
Dear Memphis,
I'm sorry I must leave so quickly

But the pain in my heart
Has multiplied
And running is all I know
I'm so sorry,

Tennessee,
Please forgive me
For things that I've done
And will continue to do

Don't grieve for me,
Memphis,
My sweet city
I still want you in my heart

But the river rocked me
So hard
And I just can't
Get back up

I'm sorry for
The slanderous words
I said about you
Please understand

I was talking from my head
Not from my heart
I could never put down,
My sweet Tennessee

So, as I'm picking up my bag
To leave you
Please remember one thing
And then I'm through

I'm sorry for
The hurtful words
I said to you
Please understand

I was talking from my head
Not from my heart
I could never let you down,
My sweet Memphis city

Maybe, One Day

My heart
And my head
Are bitter enemies
They can never agree

One says, 'I love him'
The other, 'I'd rather not'
Trouble is
I don't know who's saying what

So be patient with me
I'm just a girl
On her knees
Begging for you

To be patient with me
And my bewildering ways
As I try to unlock
The puzzle inside of me

I've convinced myself,
Time and again,
That you've got the key
To solve my riddle

Maybe I'm just fooling myself
Baby, I really hope
That I'm not
Pushing you away

With these confusing thoughts
Bouncing 'round inside
Of my head
That I can't get to stop

But I'm the only one
Who can have that key
The only one who
Can solve this mystery

So, hold onto your hat
Hold onto your patience
And maybe, one day,
You'll hold onto me.
