Poets Were My Heroes

Bebe please take care of me

I'm a wreck as you can see

I'll do anything you ask of me

If you just would hold me

Hold me, love me

Kill me, cure me

Strike and shove me-

But hold me

Lust and burn...

Me

When no one believes in what you do

And nobody sees

All the work that you have done

It gets harder to keep on

And when all you've achieved

Goes unsung or unconceived

It gets hard to carry on

Without help from anyone

When all your heroes

Have all gone into the grave

And the friends you've loved

But somehow couldn't save

Left you all alone

To scream and ring those silent bells of Lay,

What say you?

There's got to be another way

An alternative array

To the million shades of grey

On the checkerboard of play

And when nobody cares

How my indifference it flares

Like the fires that arobe

My sunken heart and the globe

All the talent I've seen traded for a drag

All the loved ones

I've neglected for a bag

How it was my fault

I wasn't there to stop you hanging from a crag

So sad, but true

Breathe in!

For me!
