Just a wish

Just a wish

Tree-green
I don’t know the truth & I didn’t know the truth
I didn’t want to know the truth
 
I’d rather go on lovin’ blind girl
Than go on lovin’ without you
 
I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
 
I’m not sayin’ it’s you
You could never be true
 
I just don’t wanna know how it ends
You’d still have my heart in the palm of your hands
 
I’ve always said what I don’t know
Couldn’t hurt as bad as leavin’ you
 
Turns out I knew what I was thinkin’
It ain’t an easy thing to do
 
Well I guess I should be goin’
I sure found out too much to stay
 
I wish somehow I do know now what I should do then
Or at least somehow I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then
Keep up your Buckley

Keep up your Buckley

She asked to keep up your Buckley
Even when she knows
It ends up with forgeting her
With drowning in the river
Maybe
That was the plan
From the beginning
We were just writing the song
Word by word
& my heart is frozen still
as I try to find the will
to forget her, somehow
…Remember her hair
As it shone in the sun
The smell of the bed
When I knew what she’d done
Tell myself over and over
You won’t ever need her again
But don’t fool yourself
She was heartache from the moment that you met her
& my heart is frozen still
as I try to find the will
to forget her, somehow
She’s somewhere out there now…
It’s not enough

It’s not enough

Sep 23, 2013 | Blog, Poem

Though all the wealth of men was mine to squander
And towers of ivory rose beneath my feet
Were palaces of pleasure mine to wander
The sum of it would leave me incomplete
 Though every soul would hold my name in honor
And truest love was always by my side
My praises sung by grateful sons and daughters
My soul would never still be satisfied
 It’s not enough, it’s not enough
I could walk the world forever
Till my shoes were filled with blood
It’s not enough; it’s not enough
Though I could live for all to lift them higher
Or spend the centuries seeking light within
Though I indulged my every dark desire
Exhausting every avenue of sin
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
I could walk the world forever
Till my shoes were filled with blood
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
I could right all wrongs, or ravage
Everything beneath the sun
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
To make me whole
It’s not enough, it never was
Awake my soul
It’s not enough, it never was
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
I could walk the world forever
Till my shoes were filled with blood
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
I could right all wrongs, or ravage
Everything beneath the sun
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
Though all would bow to me
Till I could drink my fill of fear and love
It’s not enough; it’s not enough
Love is hard

Love is hard

“Love Is Hard”

I see lovers in the streets walking,
Without a care.
They’re wearing out loud
Like there’s something in the air
Oooooh, and i don’t careThey’re treading lightly
No they, don’t sink in
There’s no tracks to follow
They don’t care where they going
Hmm

And if they’re lucky and they’ll,
They’ll get to see and if they’re
Really really lucky they’ll
Get to feel..

And it kicks so hard,
It breaks your bones.
Cuts so deep
It hits your soul.
Tears your skin and
Makes your blood flow.
It’s better that you know,
That love is hard.

Love takes hostages,
Gives them pain.
Gives someone the power to
Hurt you again and again
Oooh, but they don’t care

And if they’re lucky and they’ll,
They’ll get to see and if they’re
Really really lucky they’ll
They’ll get to feel.
And if they’re, they’re truly blessed
And they’re get to believe
And if you’re dammed, you’ll never
Let yourself be diseased.

And it kicks so hard,
It breaks your bones.
Cuts so deep
It hits your soul.
Tears your skin and
Makes your blood flow.
It’s beter that you know,
That love is hard.

Hmmmmmmm…

Kicks so hard,
It breaks your bones.
Cuts so deep
It hits your soul.
Tears your skin and
Makes your blood flow.
It’s better that we know..

And it kicks so hard,
It breaks your bones.
Cuts so deep
It hits your soul.
Tears your skin and
And makes your blood flow.
It’s better that you know,
That love is hard..

Love is hard, love is hard.

If it was easy,
It wouldn’t mean nothing tough

The meaning of my life is…She

The meaning of my life is…She

She

Maybe the face I can’t forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
Maybe my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
Maybe the chill that autumn brings
Maybe a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day.
She
Maybe the beauty or the beast
Maybe the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one’s allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I’ll remember till the day I die

She
Maybe the reason I survive
The why, and wherefore I’m alive
The one I’ll care for through the rough and ready years
Me I’ll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I’ve got to be
The meaning of my life is

She, she, she
