To feel the way I do
First close your eyes and see
A blinding white landscape
Stretching beyond your gaze
To see as I see the world
First take away the big
And replace it with the small
Take the beauty from the living
Examine recognition
To know as I know
Read a book from end to beginning
And see what is hidden from thine eyes
Write not with unceasing flow
But with quite speculation
Denounced from ones own
Feel not the need to fill the space
With words that hold no thought
Let nothing ever bring you down
To the pit less fathoms of hell
Write not to me
And sing of clouds
That ride the ocean blue
Instead see the thanks that lay beyond my dept
I cry not for the lost
For what is lost is to be found
I cry not for the broken
For what is broken is to be fixed
Yet I cry for the unfixable
The unfound
I cry for the night that flew away
I cry for the nights I spent away
I cry for what may never be again
And for the world that looks upon my shame
Yet grief is not my only way
I do not cry so much
I’d rather laugh at your unbroken spell
And sing of summers come
I smile at the rainbow
Amidst the sorry rain
An yet to laugh is very well
To sing just as so
But to cry I find no comfort
So laugh I will
As candles burn
And dare them to yet burn again
To fires long quenched
Ill smile and say adieu
To lost loves I locked up
I’ll find the key again
Set them free I will
Say goodbye again
Ill sing and laugh as long as your there
But never any more
For I shall know your secret
Even if you hide
Beyond you rock I see your pain
No never run again
Feel you only cold hard stone
But come to me
And hold my hand
Ill lend my shoulder
Where tears are shed
And comfort found
And good things come to an end
Ill lift you up
And on your way
Will you not wave goodbye
For I have seen enough of this
And never will I forget
Lest I should burn
And let the night sing
A lament for you
I will never go back
And you will wonder
For you have not the sense
To see as I see
To feel as I feel
To cry as I cry
For these feelings are my own
Now buried in your stone
