My eyes are pouring
Out a waterfall
But despite the tears I can't
Even feel anything.
At all.
This silence is deafening
As if my ears forgot how to hear,
Numbness replacing pain
I wish I could wish you were here.
From a burning heart and a head behind
Following words lips grope to find.
Will I forget how to write and feel?
Will I bend or break or kneel
To the blanching that many do succumb
Society's machine that beats you numb.
I don't want to forget how to write
Or ever give up in this fight
Please leave me to get lost in the night
I'll be just fine by the moonlight
Life's not worth the ride
If you can't fight the pulling tide
Feel the pain to feel the joy
The regret of ever having loved a boy
Please don't let me lose this rhyme
Or let love sink in the stream of time
But all streams lead to the ocean I guess
But I don't want emotions lost in the sea of consciousness.
There must be light and there must be dark
For catharsis emotion must be stark
Though once I wished to cry no more
Now I'm waiting at my door
For a feeling a knock or ring
Something that will make my soul sing
A knock or the beat and ring for the flow
Wisdom gained and feelings to know.
Something old from distant past
But throughout life will never pass
Reclaim a muse and reinspire,
Be the pow of the heart with a heart on fire.
No afraid to feel again
Mourning the loss of a friend,
Reminiscing on a time once told
Imparting messages from a soul too old
Never forgetting what was once known
And all the love and hatred they've shown,
And all the bitterness and dolce tim ugh in the soul,
Feeling again is the goal
Donor forsake the past
But do not stay there too long
So that ears can keep a lookout
For the next words of song.
