Is this as good as it gets?   'cause
I'm feeling a little bit tricked,
I'm feeling a little bit foolish like
my dream's had it's pockets picked,
I've been waiting to see
if the hands of Fate
have slipped me a hand
that's not mine,
but it's getting late
and while I've been waiting
she's robbed me of all of my time,
my time,
Fate's robbing me all of the time..
What am I
When our lips are miles apart
And the words
you whisper
Are not for me
What am I
When you run your fingers
Through the hair
Of an unknown beauty
One of many
What am I
When you give me wings
To fly away
but cut them off
As you please
What am I
When your eyes are blind
To the pain you cause
When you call me love
What am I
My love
What am I to you

Oh the nostalgia,
Oh memory lane,
a poet's dream that we try to capture
in vain
because the essence of what once was,
is never the same,
as the situation is
and that is beautiful.
Beautifully lame.
Because how can one song
Trigger a lifetime of memories
If the song has no real meaning to you.
But it was the feeling,
The freedom,
The risk,
And that's why it triggers so many thoughts and memories
Pain and happiness,
And if I cry in the middle of class
While writing this,
Then it's okay,
I can feel
I can feel
I can feel.

Your eyes brighten
I watch you smile
It's a poignant reminder
Of what we once were
Why do I feel such melancholy
At the sight of your joy?

I have a sudden urge
To engage
In conversation with you
But as I try to step forward
I freeze
And fill with rage

You stare at me...
You never did anything
To deserve avoidance
I simply associate your glee
With painful memories
Of my own

I wince
As it reminds me
Of our past, of us
I just hope you know
That I am yet
To forget you
Some thoughts from today :-)

Though the heart knows what is real,
The mind craves words of how we feel.
I trust my heart with everything I feel for and from you. Silence, mine or yours, leads my mind on a dangerous festering runaway train.
Thank you for EVERY exchange we share.

The sun will
Give way
To the moon,
This day will
At last
Be done with.
And my
Hollow heart
Can learn
To beat
Once more.
