That Girl Parts 1 and 2 – Written Tuesday 22nd December 1992 (Aged 17)

That Girl Part 1

if i wrote every time you were on my mind,
the paper and trees of this world
would be something you would never find.

my soul is a sitting house for your beautiful self.
i was made by selfish construction,
ruled by a past, hell bent on destruction.

walking the plains of reality, just to be free,
unraveling the mysteries of this strange world—
longing to understand, to see.


That Girl Part 2

damn girl,
please, won’t you see me, please?
free me from your insane reality.

love is strange, don’t you think?
yet girls like you—
leave me to sink.

damn girl, i cannot remove you
from my mind.
damn girl, i cannot think.

James Garratt – Tuesday 22nd December 1992
