Everybody's dying to be heard,
And yet it's silent...we don't make a sound.
If we'd realize the power of our words before we'd speak them, we'd be found.

We'd be found, closer than we are right now.
Maybe then we'd realize, we're all looking through the same eyes.

It really breaks my heart to watch this fall apart.
As we stand there in the distance, saying "It's too late to fix this."
We'll leave it up to someone else.
We'll give our thoughts away for free, and then we'll buy them off the shelf.

We're closer than we've ever been.
I think it's time for us to begin...
To find some kind of compromise.
Cause we're all looking through the same eyes.
This is actually a song I wrote, so I'm not sure if it translates well as a poem. I can only read it as I know it in song, so I would appreciate some feedback on this one please. :)
You were so pretty while you were sleeping,
I had to wake you.
I didn't mean to disrupt your dreams,
I just had to tell someone, and the cats never listen, the dog doesn't understand, and the bird, he'd be jealous.
See, sometimes when you fall asleep before I do, I get lost in my love for you.
Sometimes when you're still and quiet, you are most alive in me.
Sometimes when you are dreaming your dreams, I am living mine.
