write it off

i'm so hungry but i can't seem to eat
what is that about?
my nephew is awesome
one of the cutest kids i know

bald and gray
she told me some of the secrets of life
she's only 31
what an amazing heart
i wanted to hug her a little longer
wanted her to rub off on me
somehow hold on to her constant state of life

lost at poker tonight
had some bad cards
some bad vibes
stupid text messages
words can be such knives at times
just want to be done with that part of my life
done and done

so i look around
and see love
all love
these beautiful faces i get to spend my life with
that's pretty incredible

think i feel a smile coming on
i can't help myself
despite this hunger
this frustration
this pain
i'm happy
