Analysis of When Jody's not here



Jody used to sit on on the bottom
telling me where her heart was each day
and where she sat, I could see
nothing what she saw in the sky.
Jody used to place all with me
Knowing her inner and doubtness
and where she
laughed for just being,
taught me to feel and I'm open
Because Jody was so much
what I am so close to becoming
from so far...even spaced apart
I know that Jody and I have always been
wherever the same.
