I'm Not As Lonely Anymore

I'm not as lonely anymore, 2018 by Jay Stone

Laying around, 
Talking to myself,

Realizing feelings I've never felt 
Such a beautiful Sunday

I'm kneeling; keeling over these cards I've been dealt
I'm killing all these whispers I felt 
Cause

I'm broke but I've never been wealthier 
I'm broken but I've never been healthier

I'm not as lonely anymore,
Birds in the sky, 
ducks in the pond 
I'm surrounded by everyone

Game on, teach me your ways 
Make today a beautiful Sunday,

I think today I'll put down the bottle, 
Ease up on the throttle

Take it slow 
Like a snail after the rain

Coming out the shell today, 
Expecting your letter in the mail someday

Those words like hieroglyphics 
I'll be your Indy and I am jonesing for you

You'll be my Fenti and I'll be beauty for you 
We'll mend these wounds like surgical glue

No tears like I'm baby shampoo

No fears, like I'm guided by you 
No steers like I'm riding bareback to you

No saddle because I'm a cowboy for you 
No spurs because I'm stirred by you

Such a beautiful Sunday 
I'm in some daze thanks to you

This is the start of something new 
So thank you

I'm not as lonely anymore
(Edited to try and fix formatting that got broken.)
but I am working on tightening up my works for Chapbook contests, so critique on em all is appreciated, and you'll probably see more of my work over the next couple weeks.
