There’s twenty minutes until four
I comb my hair and take a seat
I can’t hide this smile anymore
As I tremble my nerves to my feet

One last chance to run out the door
It’s time to close the door of being alone
I couldn’t have asked for more
You would have thought that she’s my clone

If the universe every tried to split us apart
It would slice itself in half and cease to exist
There’s not stronger love than the one forged in our hearts
It truly is likes a bliss

I can picture now, the way she smiles
When she makes her way down the aisle
It’ll make it all worthwhile
Even if it took me a thousand miles

The bells are ringing, it’s time to go
Time to make myself a new heading
Time to let my love show
For it’s her and I’s wedding

The stone wall’s still cold
Although it’s not from sleeping alone
The old fire still burns hot
Not hot enough to heat my bones

There’s a knock at the window
From an old friend
It serves as a reminder
Of the chilly wind

As I awake from a fever dream
And head for the door
It all seems so familiar
As if I’ve been here before

In my mind its all the same, its all the same
Her laughter haunts these halls
I try and try to drink her away
But there no amount of alcohol

As my hand reaches for the handle
Followed by a turn and a twist
She’s standing there alone
And I’m stuck in the midst

There is no possible way to define her beauty
Even with her standing in the rain
So, I pull her in and hold her close
Hiding away my real pain

She gives me a kiss of forever
Then begs me to give her time
It’s the same dream set in the same scene
She is gone and I’m stuck here, that is the true crime

Of all the blue in the skies
No ocean could fill
The wonder in your eyes

Take away the color from the world
I'll be here standing still
Waiting to be unfurled

Of all the greens in the grass
None are such a match
For my heart of glass

Take away the pleasures in my life
Let whatever love is to come hatch
Then leave me abandoned, stabbed by a knife

Of all creatures to exist
You are too beautiful to hold
Perhaps true love truly is a bliss

If you choose to leave, go in the night
And don't be afraid to be bold
I'll look for you when I see the light

Everybody's moving out and moving away
Though it looks as if I'm here to stay
My Mind is chiseled, and my bodies grown old
I did as I was told, never dared to be bold

Somewhere along the way I quit
There was nothing else I could try to fit
It was my chance to live in ignorance bliss
So don't feel sorry for the miss

I chose to reject what I don't understand
In the end I never got the upper hand
Just a life of wasted dreams
And a debt to work for machines

I hope to find my soul again someday
I hope it was able to fly away
Fly far from this mess
Oh, how much I have to confess

When I die there'll be no burial for me to atone
My body’s already been turned to stone
Just face me out towards the sun
And know that my time is done
Thomas Harvey Aug 16
Make my mind a temple of thoughts
To account for the lack of time I have lost
If only time could be bought
But that would be a never-ending cost

Make my body free and clean
To account for all of my mistreatments
Wipe away all that is bad, leaving me keen
Keen on all my resentments

**** my spirit for the sins I have committed
The lies and persecution of my own
When judging, don't leave anything omitted
Let everything be known

Make me a man of wisdom
Let me learn when to stop
So that one day I'll make it to the Kingdom
For I too should have ripe crops

Allow me to live as you see fit
Guide me in my times of trouble
So that I may never quit
For you have pulled me from the rubble
Thomas Harvey Aug 16
If only and buts were candy and nuts
Then we would both understand, and I would be your man
The lies we tell ourselves, the ways we wreck our heath
The hardest things I had to do, was to learn to love without you
Thomas Harvey Aug 16
If I were a cloud, I would fly away
So far that none of my troubles could stay
I would pick a shape that fits me best
And hover myself over to rest

If I were the wind, I would settle down
And let the leaves take their selves to the ground
I would only move when the time is right
Such as a little one flying a kite

If I was the sun, I would shine for all
So bright nobody could be sure of what they saw
I would be a burst of energy, like something fun
To pick people up and let them know the days not done

Yes, if I was this, or if I was that
I could make my own new habitat
I could bring forth new definitions
oh yes, I would be a true magician

But it’s all in my head, and I am just myself
So, I'll put these ideas on a bookshelf
It’s all make believe, so it seams
Just me, myself, and I stuck in a daydream
