Scrap Of Paper
©Jerry Axson

Give me just a scrap of paper,
I can scribble up a line or two,
I’m sorry about these missed intentions,
it’s the best that I can do,
If love is but an opportunity,
then don’t let me pass you by,
there’s potential in anything they say,
maybe that’s the reason why -

I get lonely...
I feel cold...
I am only...
one soul...

Take me to the highest mountain and,
throw me off the top alive,
put an end to my misery,
help me to finalize,
The acts of a past aggressor,
I sacrifice with tooth and nail,
let’s hope something good floats up,
from the bottom of this rusty pail,

Am I crazy???
am I done???
I am empty...
being one...

There’s a note in the bottle,
there’s a word in my mouth,
come close now and listen,
it’s bound to slip...
out...

Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
