truth for a lot of people and situations.. in the world.
- Versatyle1 on Saul's message board.
even the words I am not saying, still can make me cry...
for truth knocks continually on our door, but we refuse to answer.
we'd rather stay inside and whisper passionate phrases, and exchange long and loving gazes
but truth comes around to the window and peeks in, and we flee to another room and commit
to an imaginary life of love.
... and we promise to always do the things that we cannot
... and we swear that we will always give what the other person will never receive.
and another piece falls from our statue of belief, and yet we stay focused on the path that lies before us.
it's like singing a great song, and only repeating the chorus... for if we look closely then we'd see that
that path is actually a large circle... bringing us back to our starting point.
oh, but we smoke it like it's the greatest joint (but never can we get quite as high)
and we drip it upon ourselves hoping in its ability to anoint (and our skin is too soon again dry)
we hope in that which is beyond our fingers, and just outside the reach of our grasp
how smooth and lovely the feel of its skin... but how deadly the bite of the asp
if feeling and emotion were enough, then we wouldn't have it so rough
... but jealousy is when love leaks out from the wounded soul
... and doubt is when you lose your confidence, when you once thought you had control
... but denial... is more than an egyptian river... it is something that not only robs the hearer, it also
robs the giver.
it forces the imagination to supplement, what the true fact cannot explain.
it's the appetizer to a meal of misery, when the dessert is well-baked pain.
truth is when you admit what you feel, but also admit where those feelings will lead you
truth is the look of the white canvas of emotion, after the reality bleeds thru
the truth is that we are great together, but never together have we been
the truth is that despite our words, i have only been a distant friend
so here we are again, refusing to let truth into our space... worried that it may find a way inside.
here we are making promises we can't do, and requesting things that the other will never provide
here we are rolling the dice, and gambling with the pieces of our heart
here we are not lacking feeling, but instead we lack the ability to start
you have become a part of me, and I hope that we always remain close enough to share
you are uniquely wonderful, and a reminder to me that there is good out there
you are deserving of more than this, more than the limits that we are forced to set
you are the passion that men desire, and honestly you are as good as it gets
but for you to have your dreams fulfilled, means that i must sadly step to the side
i have to sever our union for you to become that ideal and glowing bride
this is the price we have to pay, so that the picture in your heart will become flesh
this is hard for me as well as you, but i know that it's for the best
are you listening still, though i know that dark liquid is now seeping slowly from your soul
how great a woman you have been to me, and now how will i fill this huge hole?
if you ever need me, don't hesitate... just reach out and you will find me
your absence will be felt, but i'll smile because i'll have our memories to remind me
but baby...
i must admit...
even the words i am not saying, still have the ability to make this man cry
but i will hold you forever, within the span of my heart... as i softly whisper goodbye.
