if i don't inhale
air
too much
if i softly
walk
along the way
then i won't feel
so much
and the sadness
that's coming
will go away
if i look to the
blue
of the sky
if i try hard to
listen
to each refrain
then i won't crash
so hard
and the heart
that'll weaken
will mend again
go away
sad
go away
pain
let me walk free
for these last few
hours
go away
worry
go away
weak
let me think far
beyond my meager
power
give me the chance
to have reality
before i hide
my vitality
in dreams again
(go)

about the time
it's right
about the time
when you're
"too sensitive"
it's right
about the time
when you've
worn out your welcome
it's right
about the time
when goodbye
becomes a blessing
and a hurt
at the same time
you can
honestly say
that you've felt better
than to-day
but you can't
honestly feel
that what you say
will make a difference
day to day
time after time
words won't always
rhyme
it's what we do with
the silence
that matters
(know)
about the time
when you're
"too sensitive"
it's right
about the time
when you've
worn out your welcome
it's right
about the time
when goodbye
becomes a blessing
and a hurt
at the same time
you can
honestly say
that you've felt better
than to-day
but you can't
honestly feel
that what you say
will make a difference
day to day
time after time
words won't always
rhyme
it's what we do with
the silence
that matters
(know)
foraged
sometimes
it's not in the choosing
it's in the journey to
the choice
and that takes two
you can't interrupt
the tracing
of the road
you can't understand
the process
nor the tradition
just
let it alone
leave your
attentions
to the surroundings
around you
don't focus on
the forager
or you'll be
ravaged in the end
(again)

quiet
he wants quiet
so often
i want touch
too much
he's mellow and
forgiving
especially when i'm leaning
his way
polished and sophisticated
is he
how could he allow
the loud
of me?
"quiet" he whispers,
with a smile on his face
even though he knows
that silence is out of place
with me around.....
(peace)

questioning heart
are you warm
enough?
the winds blow
so suddenly
here
and i know
you aren't used
to the cold
are you hungry?
i eat whenever
i feel like a change
i can rearrange
my schedule
for you
are you happy?
i know the truth
is hard to say
but give me a clue
that i'm making
your day
better than it was
before
did you know
that i love you?
no matter what's
in store
no matter no more
just you
(new)

reunion
with hesitation
and fear
i quiver near
with compassion
and hope
you draw forth
with whispers
and calm
i come around
with wishes
and chance
we dance
learning
to be us
again
(grow)

pep talk to the working mother, far from her child
there are two people
watching him
there are two people
who will call
and see if he's ok
he's ok
he's the baby
of the family
but he's not a baby
he's a boy
who will tell
how he's feeling
let it go, elsa
don't make a scene
mothers
have been working
for thousands
of years
without worry
he's not cursed
with your sickness
he'll live
(and you will, too)
relax

blurred
i didn't ask for it
to end
it just did
it was colourful
and funny
and frantic
and sunny
and it burst
into flames
in the night
blinding our sight
i didn't wish for it
to stop
it had to
my heart beat faster
than it ever did
before
i couldn't take anymore
so i settled for less

futility
stuck
in a place
that i usually love
hurting
and worrying
about her
knowing
she walks
the path that i did
wobbly and unsure
anger
stands beside her
holding it all in
intolerance
guides her
even while smiling
why can't i be there?
why can't i help
the one that counts?
it isn't fair
it isn't fair
it isn't fair
hold on
i'll be there
as soon as i can
(believe)
in a place

why can't i be there?
why can't i help

it isn't fair
it isn't fair
it isn't fair
hold on
i'll be there

observation
torn in half
and behind your hands
you laugh
carve out pain
and behind your looks
you reign
thank you
mr. sir
for what you think of me
but you can never know me
and behind your hands
you laugh
carve out pain
and behind your looks
you reign
thank you
mr. sir
for what you think of me
but you can never know me
emo nursery rhyme
i defer
you protest
i'm a silly
lazy mess
you concur
i respect
i sit out in
hopelessness
i desire
you suppress
i will never
pass this test
you conceal
i deflect
stuck inside
my loneliness
you protest
i'm a silly
lazy mess
you concur
i respect
i sit out in
hopelessness
i desire
you suppress
i will never
pass this test
you conceal
i deflect
stuck inside
my loneliness

opposites
you
constant and annoying
shrill and loud
i can't get enough of you
me
quiet and organized
soothing and sure
you see a lot in me
we
from opposite sides of never
leading to the forever
in us
searching for the sun
(now)
