A change of heart has to be made
by them and me. It has been laid
into my hands, I have to act before,
it stood, now it fell, before even more

of my kind get hurt. But all I can do
is nothing, I can't alter their desires.
A click is on their to do list, but who
has already made one? So our wires

can be crossed and our paths connected.
I don't want to keep being neglected
by the girl I love so much and I don't
want to seem desperate but I won't

be able to not be, I am less than common,
just like the girl I'm looking for, a woman.

She didn't even have the chance to finish.
It's winter, lady, less lady-like than before.
For every day in my past, I still do wish,
things hadn't changed, I loved you more

when you were unreachable. I lost sense
along the way, and now I'll never find it
back. She is not who I thought she was,
my glass could have shattered long ago.

Afraid of commitment, afraid to commence,
even though the chances are so small, fit
for a hospital of simple minds. It still does
make me reminisce the blow, although,

the signs say different things, my mind can
get to ease. After all that is my favourite plan.
some bridges were built last week, today I'm tearing them down.
Just to let this river flow freely.

I'm not sure which one of us is native
to this country we are trying to found.
But we just can't understand eachothers
words, even signs are easy to misinterpret.

Linked but not knowing, just guessing,
looking forward to caressing, blessing,
every way that helps us find the other
half. Our plans, needless to say, creative,

aren't working for a single bit, but you
don't seem to care, then why should I?
Looking back to those days I had to count
every single second, waiting for reply.

Fire the interpreter, we have no further need of
him, we'll just make up our own ways of tongue.

History repeats itself, fallen into my
own traps, setup long ago, still working.
No place left to run, options, ran out,
running, passing signs, can't read them,

running too fast. Trying to hold thy
from drifting further and further away.
I don't know what other dangers are lurking,
Doubting about switching to another route.

If I mind? I guess not, didn't have much she'd pay
for anyway. But I can't find another gem,
so why bother searching, this one's right there!
Treasure hunting, risky, thrilling, grasping for air,

now real treasure is closeby, I can see it's
perfect shine, still a long way to go before I can know
if it fits.
the truth is, I don't want any other gems

We lost our purpose, filled with shame,
returning, horseless, to where we came
from, what I've heard, some mysteries
have fallen and words were broken down.

When she is around I feel like the clown
dating back from long ago, history's
ill remembered stories still told today.
I would make it all undone, if you say

so I will do so, all if it could change, strange
how during I was so proud and sure
but now I cry out loud looking for a cure.
Walking around, gazing upon the sky,

why did I have to act, with sorrow, is this my
best as possible? Because then I fear tomorrow.
Caught up in the moment, decisions created to fail, chosen and experienced
not the best idea.

What it takes to make us two, why it
makes us work for everything that
we hold dear, held dear and will be
holding onto until we finally see,

we are nothing more and never will
be, ought to be and never were, it's
like a spinning, working, useless mill
still spinning, working but nothing fits

inside, nothing is knead by it's monstrous
wings, eventually we all become, subconscious-
ly, every single one of us will be, that mill. You can
deny and try to not be but you'll fail. Acceptance,

all hail acceptance. I can't argue with my fate.
Just try to make it more, fool, it's already too late.
Be that fool, surprise me, for I cannot surprise myself.

Extroverted goes great with introverted.
Supposed to be extrovert in search of
beautiful, yet honourable girl, to pay
attention to. Even though I don't have

courage or a great body, I'll try to win
her over. It's showering with closed eyes,
searching for the faucet, hoping to pick
the right side, or maybe left. Waiting

for the water to drip on my soft, not
hairless skin. Will it be too hot, too cold
or just perfect? Then there's still shampoo
to worry about, better smell the bottle first.

Suddenly the water comes out, first dripping,
cold, then flowing, warm. Too much tension for me.
