Walk Softly Child.

Walk softly child,
walk softly while you're walking through that door.
Walk softly child,
there's no telling what you might be walking for.
Speak mildly child,
speak mildly and anger will not flame.
Take cover child,
take cover while they're calling out your name.
Be patient child,
be patient let the pain just float away.
Walk softly child,
walk softly while you're running through this day.

Close to you (Inspired by The Carpenters "Close To You")

You must feel it in the air
my pain,
my anger,
my despair.
My constant agony, my want
of what I cant have
but you do flaunt.
You must sense my loneliness,
the emptiness within my chest,
the feelings i can not express through words.
Instead I let my eyes implore,
the seek you out and ask for more,
they cry to you, they beg, they plead 
and if they could they'd surely bleed because
Just like me 
they long to be
close to you
Just like me
they long to be
close to you.....
