(2014)
It’s been 14 years Since we’ve spoken 14 years In which I’ve tried to Bury my regrets
One year ago We were nearly lovers One year ago The closest of friends One year ago
I have done you Oh, so wrong. I have never given you What you need Forgive my failure
I broke something beautiful I had prior commitments I was not free to live out that fantasy
Self Determination It’s never free There is always a cost Self determination Requires
Passions pit perfervid. Smoking cinders, and coals endure petulantly past their prime. Blisters and puss
I thought I was the adult I had the years that is without question But experience and wisdom Those were yours
Spent my whole life In a war zone Where everyman proves his metal by showing
How was it possible? Why on earth Did it never happen Before? How did you change
Our love cost you dear It cost you all A price I would have willingly pa… Though that cost Sadly landed on you
I’m not sure whether I love or ha… The me I am because of you You reminded me How good it felt To feel without reserve
Naked and unashamed The garden abandoned Acceptance exchanged alienation in judgement alone
I never told you a lie I was honest from the start You knew about my wife You knew who I was You accepted the facts
Easy to lament Greatness touched and then gone bu… Few taste it at all
Hope is so elusive It just won’t come near Hopelessness and foolishness Grasping to things that just aren’… I can’t seem to find freedom
