Fired
The only mistake I made
Was thinking I could
Control you like
I thought you controlled me
That the spark I saw
In the depths of your eyes
Was not forever
But a flame in the dark
Although upon second look
If that fire fueled your heart
It was a red flag
That we would drift apart
Made all but certain
By the fact that
My heart deserved more
Than your smoky outline
If appearances won wars
I would bet on you
And I would still lose
That spark was never for me
It was never about me
It was just you living
Never in control at all
And I wreathed in smoke
Physically We
We can't drown in flames
Or burn in rivers.
There is no darkness that the dark can keep away.
We can only fall until we can fall no more.
Only when we hit the ground can we spring up again.
We can't turn back the hands of time.
But we can see color in a whole new light.
But we can be made to feel that we all have hearts.
But we can choose an open mind and not draw lines.
Whether it be us and them,
or you and me,
or he and she and they,
If we jump as one we can shake the stars and be the change that starts.
Unrelenting Echo
The challenge I strive to overcome is the voice inside that sings a different song.
That says I am weak when try to be strong.
That counts the future as marked in stone.
That treats help as an unnecessary chaperone.
That seizes the time it takes to run as successive
That takes training a step far to obsessive
But I listen and rise above the echoes inside
Success only I define, I calm my pride
Against never ending doubts I survive
By accepting not avoiding that which makes me alive.
Not Vaycay
You pulled me in
Felt like you meant it
Didn't state your intentions
Oooouuu oooouuu
Now you've left me to dry
The tears away while
Your gone on vacay
Oooouuu oooouuu
Did you really mean what you didnt say?
Was it all just play?
Was it all just Ms/Mr to nice to stay?
My anxiety waits for you
My sight searches for you
You left like it was a cue
Some ready for clue
For you was it to few
Words you wanted me to say
Is it such a bother for you
To stay
Was it such a bother for you
To say, it's not worth it
Nooo nooot
Oooouuu oooouuu
Nooo nooot
Toooo dayyyy
Did you really mean what you didn't say?
Was it all just play?
Was it all just Ms/Mr to nice to stay?
Not good enough
Not strong enough
Not the words I need
Nooo nooot
Toooo dayyyy
The words you said
From your lips lead
Me to think what I admit
Though I might have been quick
That you wanted to stay
That you were going to stay
But you left me for vaycay
