NONNA

I wish I wasnt flushing jokers
Oh, im feeling the sinking
The sinking before crying
Pushing my mistakes in and out of me
Sinking and lifting might not end
My two only friends
Everyday I wait for Nonna again

I need to see you Nonna so you can plug my tears
So you can clean up after my eyes
Use your magic and set it aside
I know your address and I wish I could come but thats suicide
Oh, how I wish I could come Nonna
A stubborn numb hides in my mind

Nonna, Plug my tears
Clean up after my eyes
Use that magic and set my skies
Use your magic and set it all aside
When you left I died inside
I'm at a dead end during the ride
I just want to feel alive
Bring your magic one last time
Nonna !

    a lovely poem - about your "Nonna"

    I'm not sure who your Nonna is but-

    "Nonna" in Italian means - grandmother - that is what I called my grandmother and I miss her.

    Thank you for sharing...

    Thank you for that --> "Always have your Nonna's smile"
    No one has ever said that to me before. I haven't even said that to myself and she's been gone for 11 years ... lol But it's true, isn't it ?

    Seriously, thank you.

    I'm assuming you needed that yesterday just as much as I did ... :D How her smile washes the frustration away is unmatched anywhere else for me
