It Don’t Mean A Thing
©Jerry Axson

Purpose in the way you move,
sadness is revealed by the light,
if you can’t look me in the eyes,
well, I’ll just die tonight,
I have such a long way to fall,
leaning backward into space,
the crowd goes wild!, the fanfare starts -
I can read it all over your face,

You tell me that you’re not really leaving -
then why do you feel so far away?,
if “heart” is just another word for home,
why can’t you come back to me and stay?,
I’m buried under every word you wrote -
hanging on each new one you bring,
I slip broken from your grasp -
it just don’t mean a thing...
it don’t mean a thing...

I stumbled all over this moment,
like it was meant to be,
anyone else would rise -
above the informality,
maybe I expect too much from you-
maybe you expect too much from me,
maybe we don’t give a damn -
I guess we’ll just wait and see...
