Counted on, but don’t come through
Stuck in just one point of view
Never sure of what to do
To justify the means
Mind is racing, spinning wheels
We’ll never know the pain he feels
The alternative, has less appeal
And doesn’t come with laughter
Only tears and big regrets
Not knowing where to place his bets
He constantly wonders why he let
His loved one get away

So pleasing to the eye
Are the colors of the sky
Bouncing off the clouds
In an incandescent light
Bound to earn their worth
In heaven and on earth
Without even a question as to why
We accept it and move on
Before the clouds are gone
And the sun comes out again for its reply
Then settle under shade
With sips of lemonade
And wave up to the clouds to say goodbye

You’ve eclipsed my expectations
You’ve opened up my eyes
What I believed before, is no more, to my surprise
Your grace under pressure
Your fortitude and drive
You’ve exceeded every notion, of what it takes to be alive
I commend your motivation
Your inspiration, and pride
Your willingness to carry on, when you’ve been denied
You’re open to adapt
Despite your being shy
You’ve answered every question with a smile, big and wide

I’m struggling, trying to stay afloat
It’s been on my mind, what you said, the last time that we spoke
I can’t clear my head or focus, when you think it’s all a joke
I just need to carry-on, when it’s clear that I can’t cope
And tie a knot, with all I’ve got, at the end of my own rope

The astronaut had landed
First foot to touch the ground
He planted his flag
He’d constantly brag
And he’d walk around town pretty proud
But that was back then
And today is today
And no further progress
Has ever been made
It’s such a shame
But he’s not to blame
He did all that he could, if not more

I’ll love him till the end
My imaginary friend
Who’s looked after me ever since I was a child
He’s missing his glass eye
Which was picked on, ****, and pried
His stuffing has been falling out for years
In a strange turn of events
I picked up and I left
On a secret journey of forgotten tears

Northern lights revealed
An awe inspiring view
Along the hills and mountains
Here, sitting next to you
The skies lit up
In a multicolored array
On the cutting edge
Because we know no other way
Mystic and mysterious
Jupiter and Mars
Romantically disposed
Underneath the stars
