There Is No Song For Me
I once knew a man
no wings to speak of
A man who lost his voice
poor fool thought he could sing
While inhabiting a world
what a sad little world
So filled with noise
it was enough to deafen
The man couldn't help but envy.
Guess you forgot how I sound
So this man out of fear
I can still see his pain
Made his own world
I think I'm to blame
With nothing but silence to hear.
I'm still not ashamed.
I pierced the bubble
In his world
he swatted me away
Sound still found him
still I sang, and sang
How cruel it was
It's sad how fast a man...
how forced he was to fester
...can give up on himself.
In the very sounds he'd lost
"Why have you come to me?

All I Want
I want someone to talk to
it may not sound like much
but its all I want of you
I want to never be alone
to never be forced to hear

are their sweet whispered delights
I want someone
it hardly matters who
to stick with me
and stay with me through
the transgressions of my days
the weaknesses of my soul
and share the same with me

Bag Of Dreams
I once knew a boy
Who carried his dreams on his back
And kept them together
In a burlap sack,
Which he hoisted
And heaved
Until finally
He'd leave
Usually in the same way
That he came,
With a bag full of dreams
A back full of pain
And with nowhere left to stay.
This boy
Though so small
carried it all
Without a single complaint,
While his legs seemed to stall
And continually tried to fall
At every bump in the road.
But on the boy walked
He could not be stopped
On his quest to keep his dreams.
So to help him along
I sang him a song
So mellifluous
And so sweet
It became a lullaby
And slowly shut his eyes
So he could finally go to sleep.

But I like it down here, anyway.
This was a very sudden epiphany. What just happened. I think I'm asleep still.
