and still it's there

i know
you're not owning up
to me

and still i walk to you

i know
you don't say all
to me

and still i talk to you

i know
that the side of your mouth
that i see

smiles for me

even though you curse
out the other side

i don't know
all sides with you

and still i ride with you

no matter what i
delete the thought
is still there

(share)

reasoned

sometimes
the least understood

is the most said

most times
the least remembered

is the most thought of

blurs in the screen
from tears in the eyes
clear to the soul
but feign from the ties

any time
the least requested

is the most felt

and the most remembered.....

for thee and he

you
who wants it to be

shall have it

you
who wants peace

shall live in it

you
who thinks the world
of the world
that you live in
with him

you
who knows the good
in his heart

won't part from it

may thee and he
walk to-gether
in sunshine

forever

(true)

last goodbye

so much
said
with a sigh

so much
felt
with a shrug
of a shoulder

so much
released
with a sob

so much
resigned
with a nod
of a head

so much
goes by
in the twinkling
of an eye

so much
goodbye

goodbye goodbye

(gone)

no popcorn

people come
people go

and i still don't get
my popcorn

seats are open
doors are shut

but still i get
no popcorn

the tavern rages
with empty words

the people age
the flag unfurls

the hearts that melted
to-gether
beat different in
the setting sun

but still i get
no popcorn

no kernel

not one

(sigh)

mute

it's never easy
talking to you

but it's worth it

i never know
what you'll say

but i'm glad you say it

and when
the storm clouds
happen

and nothing is
said
but everything is
felt

there's a tiny part
of me
in your eyes

waiting to help

even if all i do
is sit
and say nothing

(dwell)

futile promise

i'm sorry

i scream with you
in your pain

i'm sorry

i want to hug you
again and again

i'm sorry

i know there's nothing
i can do

from so far
so far
so far away

your cries
burn into my heart
every time i
hear them

across the line

there will be
no time
that i hurt you
that much

this i say

but i know
you'll never believe
me anyway

(stay)
