Dig Deep
how does i feel to love
somebody that doesn’t love
you?
like’s like playing a game of
hide and seek –
their love is hidden and you
have to go in and seek it out.
it’s like digging for clams in
the desert
or
digging a hole in the sand
and filling it with all
the water of the ocean –
it’s like counting all the
stars on a clear night
or
like waiting for a bus
in the middle of lake michigan –
it’s like mining for
gold in a field of
oklahoma red clay
or
like selling air conditioners
in alaska.
to sum it all up –
it’s like hell.
