I'm looking at the world You said you wanted-- Drowning out my innocence With absent regret; life holds no power Over weakness, and holds no dominion Over me--I'm forgetting all the rules Just to kiss the truth. Heaven sent And Heaven bent, I walk a line You've never seen, and it's all Just a simple matter of eloquence, Resistance, confidence and strength. A destiny away and my fear over rid My tragedies, silenced my wild-eyed wit, And left me reeling from my belief in you-- Sometimes, goodbye doesn't matter, But the memories sewn in between The seams of two lives. I raged in all my anger, Set up several layers of false pretence, a talisman Against my weakness that is founded in you-- Your eyes undo me, and leave me unguarded Against my own heart, beating, beating, beating Endlessly as I gauge your hidden smile. Last time That we met, there was no happiness to see me, And I took a while and a wisdom unbeknownst For me to understand--revolutions and revelations Are always far from simple, and my smile Can only haunt and hide so much. I wonder, Will you remember me, When the rest of the world whispers Of a heart that time forgot? |
