Stupid
Stupid to think you'd be there
To think you'd give your time
In such a shortened life
and such a busy time
Stupid to think you're lonely
Enough to show you care
In this a great big world
the tiny piece I share
Stupid to think I mattered
In every waking moment
In total control of your love
and where you felt its place
Stupid to think so hard
My fingers all but bled
In times of war and peace
times whole countries have fled
Stupid to think of you
to knock upon your door
drop your jaw with a poem
sit and wait for applause
