I Wonder

I wonder if anything I write
Will ever make you understand
Will ever make you see
Will ever make you feel
I try, but it's not enough...
I walk on through that fire
Only to be burned by your stare
A stare that holds only blankness
Masking all that you hold inside
And you hold so much inside!
God, I don't know how you do it
How you've been silent for so long
Only letting bits and peices out
And shaking all the while...
I wonder will this end, like it began?
This crazy dance, I didn't intend
These were not my intentions, I swear
I started out, with the best of intentions
Somehow, they have gone astray
Or is it only I?
I broke from the path, left my safety
And I went in search of you
Only to have everything happen
To keep you out of my reach...
I just wish that I could make you understand
But, as I speak, the wind takes my voice
And you never hear my heart...
