| Once upon a time, ere so long ago Come images of a past I cannot know Of happier times and of sad Where not everything was bad I am not the same in this place And I can only see a face Of kindness, of radiance, of hope And a house on a gentle slope I know not this place but all the same I know the whole of this open plain The scent, feel and images came and went And I do not know from where was sent But the emotion holds me still this day And will not go away What is this and what to do? It only comes as I near you A face set behind the eyes A soul's whisper that cannot disguise Recognition though I know not why But I cannot escape from your eye Who are, have we met before In some mall as I held a door This state, maybe another one That's when the image begun Saw the pain and it hurt me to But at the time you wouldn't let thru You knew me too and said as much Fast friends became and in a clutch My heart would grab at the time with you Knowing how you feel, and what I knew Insight I had, from a connection there And I was able to show you a little how I care Knew you were unhappy, tears welled up inside Still I couldn't escape the face in disguise I knew without thinking, almost at times Of your secrets and your hidden signs My mouth as usual would then betray And you'd ask how I knew anyway These things that you wouldn't say Of doubts and fears and things gone wrong The swirled in my head like a chaotic song So I was open to signs that others couldn't see And you reminded something to me At the time I couldn't see what Just a particular ranching in my gut What was behind those pupils that I knew? From the moment I first saw you And so I help as much as I do To find happiness you need too But the face that I see set in your soul Knows mine too hiding in its hole And within this realization comes striking fact Of what you need and what you lack That which I am not free to give yet want to And my mouth sticks like glue To the words like rot within my mouth And my stomach lurches and head south And the tears unbidden begin to well My knees shake and I quell For what you need I do too? Yet I don't know what to do And so I guide as healthy as I can And you find companion with another man A part of me seethes with rage and jealousy Another part resigned for I can see That you need what you need, just like I do And never can I deny that to you I hate all of this, it just isn't fair And I sit and do whets right as I'm gasping for air And I will do this well, a solemn vow I've done this sort of thing before, and this time somehow Ill stand behind you, though my knees do quake And ill do this all for your happiness sake And even if my life isn't peaches and cream Ill go on because I can still dream At least of a different time and place Where I was free to caress your face And in waking with a heaving sigh Ill do what I must, I will get by And all I have told you will hold true It'll always be with me, but may fade for you I want you to keep going on Until you find that place you belong And even then ill be standing there To help you stand, to keep you fair And to hold your hand in trouble and doubt To listen to rants scream and shouts To delve inside to that deepest fear Those which cant reach another's ear To restrain when issues at hand Are more then another can stand? Call me as promised and ill be there This soul knows you and still cares Always will, it's evident to me What once was will always be Self-delusion, which I advise against As I sit and straddle this same fence Didn't want to admit that, but I sense it's true You're never alone, i'm always with you So don't be afraid, and don't fret for me I love you Starshine...so mote it be |
