Sitting in the dark

(From The Woodsman’s Notebook)

Here I sit alone in the dark.

Is it just to fool myself or to fool my heart?

What I do is not exactly clear.

 Is it to keep all others from getting near?

The Promise
(From The Woodsman’s Notebook)

I let you walk one rainy night even though I should have made you stay. I needed you here by my side but my childish pride got in the way. I wish I had a way to tell you, that I love you so;
I wish I could have made you understand but your words were only no.

I wish the world for you my dear I wish you’d understand, that I am not any kind of superman I am just a common man. I believe in honesty, trust, and faithfulness and you should know that this is true; when it comes down to my love my dear you didn’t have a clue.

You took from me most everything and anything you could, you took my pride and dignity your evil mind thought you should, because the man you thought to be inside of me you thought he was is made of string and wood.

So after all the pain you gave to me I hope you understand, I am not the man I used to be, I am now a better man. Yes the life I have now is better and you are not here to see, each day I get stronger there is one thing I still believe the best is yet to be.

Tomorrow is another day so one day I will see an angel sent from heaven above and that’s what God has promised me.
