Dear Paul

Dear Paul, I am writing
wondering how you have been
Dear Paul, I’ve been reading
I fear I’m reading too much into this
Give me something more
Give me something strong
Give me something I can believe in
Give me something more
Give me something strong
I know something’s wrong with this picture
Dear Paul, I have thrown out
everything that I believed in
I can’t decide if I’m a nihilist or a fatalist today
Dear Paul, I know I’ve been
a little out of touch, a little out of reach
But now I’ll sit beside you
Take my hand, let’s see what happens
And he says, «Give me something more.
Give me something strong.
Give me something I can believe in.»
And I said, «I can’t give you more.
This is all I’ve got. This is everything that I believe in.»
