Drew

From the corner of my eye

I see you there, you're staring

In that black robe you are wearing

daring me to question you

From the corner of my eye

I know your curiosity

but paired with animosity

and I must find out why

The truth  I've always given

but your hatred it has driven

my heart it feels your bitterness

alone without a reason

could it just be the season

that you protest the feeling

the love in you, you're reeling

and yet don't understand

the movements of my hand

the melody that guides me

and sits so still beside me

that pushes me to heaven

from nightfall until seven

I think of you in time dear

and worship you with no fear

from the hem of my soft dress

until the dawning day

I will not feel distress

as you still pass my way

In sadness I will wonder

why you never speak to me

but maybe it is something

that was never meant to be

and this rhythm that i hear

is what will set me free

my wings are torn and tattered

from all the love thats scattered

but your voice was here

right next to my ear

with cynical solitude

alone I will fear

I feel you understand me not

and my heart aches alone

in some dark empty spot

so be it.
