Man I wish I could express

the depths of my thoughts

but the poetry can't even cut

the top of my heart

I spend my time taking it apart

and trying to say

the same old thing

that every one has said

so now when I say it

I know you won't feel that I mean it

and this what I mean most when I write

and it is that I love you

and that is all I can say but I will say this

I write this down and you may read it

but I know you won't feel it

and that what I said doesn't help

it doesn't change a thing

but I know I almost entirely mean it

and it's all that I can say

to sum up such thoughts

such thoughts that I give

I wish I could just share

share them at the root

but I know I can't so I hope

I hope those words will suffice

and fill in some gaps

yet I hope you know this

that love is not me that love if from me

isn't pure

I can't love you

but I can come so close

I can take it to calculus

and I hope you'll take it

and I hope it makes it

and makes something good in you
