If you intend to live again, 

then open your eyes and don't pretend you're feeling there's nothing worth believing. 



God, if you persist you'll die like this, 

and wither in the midst of your first season, 

cut down with no reason. 

How can you be so near and not see everything? 



If you intend to live again, 

then take the outstreched hand of the one that needs you. 

It's been so long, we've missed you. 

Why do you intend to speed your end? 

Lie in the dark and let your limbs grow weaker, sinking low then deeper. 

How can you be so near and not see everything? 



Feel what might be. See what I see. 

Again and again and again and again say you don't. 

You say you don't, but you will. 

How can you be so near and not see?


Eager to please was just the way that he was 

though his attempts there falling short, 

expectation 

see he would tell of all his conquests, 

was he bragging? 

but in the evening all alone 

Ellen unplanned delays 

saving for someone who really cared about you 

invincible they say 

married to your name 

she was the kind between a child and a lady, 

quick was her temper 

like a blaez from an ember 

no one had measured to her standard, 

so in the evening all alone all alone 

how do I tell them to open their minds 

and to take a chance 

maybe on finding life’s treasure stubborn they stay set 

in their ways really not wanting to be lonely not alone.
