Forever
Why does one moment drag on forever,If it’s only draped in agony,
Why does one tear fall after another,
Cause it’s hard to be, it’s hard to be?
Why am I thinking of you now,
Forever on my mind and singing in my eyes,
However unlike me that is, but
Should I abandon this disguise?
Should I send you a rose petal,
To say that I’m in love,
Or should I send you golden rod,
Warning, I’ve had enough.
I can’t look at something so beautiful,
And not want it to stay near,
But I want to send you a way; a part of me,
Knows that I am inferior.
My mind wanders now,
But every flower explored has to do with you,
Sort of wondering if I ever really thought this through.
I can’t take time to smell the sky,
Or taste the clouds,
Might as well be talking to the deaf,
Cause I have to scream so loud.
Drowning in your victories,
And hating my cover of innocence,
Just don’t know what else to be,
Anything but a reverence.
Conflicted and cold,
Things I’ve already done,
Should I let go of the old,
Admit you as the one?
I hate you, I hate you,
Because it wasn’t you I fell in love with.
I grew to love your shadow,
And the man you could have been.
