How quickly sand will spill through our fingers
We don’t recognize any grains individually for there are many
And we forget, forget anything about the handful of sand
Think it best to let it spill from our hands to blend in with the rest once it hits the ground
You view me as the rest
Unseen in the heap
On a sandy foundation my body rests
You will never see me, I’m only a grain of sand on a beach
Anything to cause you to smile
I will go out of my way to see your eyes light up
What is real now..
Why the delay
We don’t know
Don’t know what we want
Do we really even know what we do to each other.
Can’t you tell, feel, hear..
With teeth sharp and jagged they seek to chew you out if you falter
I am a hopeless romantic.
I may very well be at my best if I hide..
No one can hurt you that way.
Tell me things my dear.
Anything and everything.
I will not doubt you.
The past is just that
It’s the past.
Let us leave it there.
See.
all or nothing.
You want to thrive baby
Live and enjoy yourself
Maintain a peace of mind and steady charm
Keep a bounce in your step and sparkle in the eyes
A fine tune in your voice
The luster and the shine
Hold it together now, just hold on tight
I’ll whisper it my dear, come with me and I’ll whisper in your ear..
I feel as though I’m being tossed to and fro
And nobody gives a damn
All day long, tunnel visioned
screw it..
They walk real soft and whisper so low that you have to cup your hand behind your ear
And they say the most regretful things
With no idea they’ve stuck a knife through your emotions..
Am I really much a bother
Does it take much time, does it take much time
Do you see, can you see..
Leave me alone.
What is time when it passes so quickly that you hardly ever notice anymore
What is time when your wide awake at night
Today becomes next year
What will I do
Who will I be..
Do you know me well enough to stick around, well do you
Will you..
I feel as though I have fallen into an abyss and I see nothing but hear everything and anything.
I feel my feet sliding under me, I’m preparing for a fall
And I wonder what will cause me to get up and open my eyes to see what is real and distinguish what is wasted time
On my face, I cannot look up to see
You are standing on my back
And the weight feels better still
On my face, I breathe it in
I am hopeless for you my dear..
Creeping, creeping
Your lurking amongst the old things
I’ve fought with you and have won
You don’t exist my dear
A dream maybe..
Like fog around my glassy eyes
Felt the hardness of the earth under my feet
Have fought so hard while in the dark
And have walked along real slow, so slow
I feel now a new direction
The sky, she opened up to me
I followed as she took my hand
I was filled with light and things you only dream
I followed and was led from the thick, damp fog
She told me things, we talked a little while
And she sent me on my way
Along a smooth, lit path
I was illuminated just then as I began to run
