Never

January 16, 2002

How has everything been so misunderstood?

I lost who I am in an effort to do good

I hear you whispering a wish on a star

Your voice softly breaks the silence where we are

The fire crackles as the last embers die

You close your eyes slowly and let out a sigh

We’re left in the darkness and I choke back tears

I feel all my emptiness, formed through the years

I glance at you and if eyes reveal the soul

Then I’ve never met someone who could be so cold

And yet so deep, so sad, refreshing as you

I could drown in your eyes if they were a pool

But I never will, you won’t hold my gaze long enough

You’re trying so hard to stay closed off and tough

The moment has passed and it won’t come again

I guess you and I will just never be friends
