Fourteen Still



Maybe they were right
She hasn't moved an inch
From where she was
Since she was fourteen

Clams and sea shells
Crawl through the sandy bottom of the sea
And when they're found, reveal a pearl
That few have bothered to seek

Painting pictures
And not her face
Failed to impress
With that lousy dress

That dress she's been wearing since she was fourteen
It's a quiet river of blue
When she doesn't say a thing
Maybe she's just thinking

Taste this innocence
It's not such a bad thing to keep
Things new and sweet
Aren't always too deep
a song with five chords.
they saw a picture of me taken 10 years ago and their remarks inspired this.

i do too, love that line, when she doesn't say a thinng, maybe she's just thinking...

sometimes i just sit and stare out into the void and random things float past my eyes and i pay no attention...how i do love to sit and think...and people ask what the hell is wrong with you, you don't you just sit yada yada...

sorry...just relating. bloody nice poem.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
