don’t know why
i didn’t cum
you gave me all you had to give
would’ve been enough any other day
i wish i knew what else to say
guess i was having a bad, sad day
i’m sorry if that got in the way
you know you mean the world to me
but i felt the need to fly away
maybe i’ll be back on a happier day
i couldn’t stay
not for even one more day
though you invited me along
don’t know why
i didn’t come

lyrics ~
I waited ’til I saw the sun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I left you by the house of fun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I’ll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along
My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come

I think this is a very cool blend of both prompts, Dani. I love Miss Norah, and your playful interpretation of her lyrics. I do see something sad in the painted face, and you captured that in your words very well.
thank you, Kerry! ♥ i love Kim’s artwork! especially how she puts the {her} heart right out there.
My attorneys are working on a suit as we speak! LOL. I love this! It’s quite clever, sis. And the song is much the coolness, too. :-)
i know your attorneys… i’m not afraid! {much} the song seemed to fit the concept of your prompt. {grin} ♥
So true, sometimes even in the closest, deepest relationships, you just need a little space. To regain your center, your individuality, yes, and then reconnect stronger and renewed. Loved this, Dani :)
thank you both for your visit and your insightful comment, Loredana! ♥
Well played, Dani! You gave the Purple Muse a story of her own, and a detailed one at that. Well done. Like you, I appreciate Ms. Jones’ music and talent. Nice coupling here.
i’m very grateful that you approve, Kim! ♥ thank you! i love your artwork and the Purple Muse definitely inspired me!
This is wicked cool!
thanks, MZ! ♥ i’ve wanted to write something using that song for a long time. {smile}
Ha, sometime flying away and returning on a better day is the way to go. Smiles.
isn’t that the truth? thanks, Mary! ♥
Ha! Totally fun and very necessary parody!
thanks so much, Susan! ♥
I have been married for 42 years and I certainly understand needing space…love the thought interplay between Norah’s song and your poem.
thank you, Susie! ♥ i appreciate your visit and comment!
Needing a little couple therapy??? ;)
HA!!! Love that, Helen! ♥
Hmm…yes, this sates so well this unfortunate fate. ;) Well done!
{giggle} thank you, Hannah! ♥
hmm some times……
lovely ….
thank you so much for your visit and comment, sreeja! ♥
flying away and returning…that’s why we have wings..no? smiles
no matter how much we love someone, we still need time to stay in touch with ourselves, don’t you think? thanks for your visit, claudia!! ♥
“I don’t know why”… that often is the case. :) But ya gotta go with the intuition!
afraid i couldn’t resist ~ that’s what i think she means in the song, too. ♥
