Thinking of Someone Else

Lying on the couch with my little toe in a splint
Smashed it on a corner while reaching for my instrument
Talk shows get depressing and my eyes are too tired to read
Stranded in the house, staring outside helplessly
Thinking of someone else
Longing for that special person
Who always took good care of me
Hold me mother, cuddle me closely
Hold me mother, talk to me softly
Looking at the phone that is well within my reach
Wondering why I’m lacking so in self-sufficiency
Rates are high at this time, I should really try to act my age
Yet her words always got me back on track in my younger days
Thinking of someone else
Longing for that special person
Who always took good care of me
Stayed up with me all night long
When I was a child with the flu
Never short on sympathy
Hold me mother, cuddle me closely
Hold me mother, talk to me softly
Always helped me to see the brighter side
Convinced me that everything would turn out right
Lying on the couch, washing down two aspirin
Cordless on the coffee table rings, I’m on it in an instant
She tells me that she’s worried, do I have enough to eat?
I’m pretty sure that I just started healing rapidly
