You know something, you didn't fail me....
I failed you
I couldn't hug you enough,
love you enough,
be with you enough,
and show you the real stuff,
enough to make you stay.
Maybe I didn't show you enough real love
inside all I tried to convey.
Maybe I spent too much time trying to be an oracle
and drying your tears away.
I shoulda realized you just needed a friend
to listen to how you spent your day
Maybe...just maybe
I didn't show you that I came not to visit
but....to stay
My un-modern mind is in complete disarray
As rainbows are promised to burst out after a storm
trapping all the colors of life
in silhouettes of implied loveliness.....
they remind me of me
in a more apocalyptic solitude,
always trying to save the world....and forgetting
that the importance of being made to feel beautiful
lies inside
as well as outside
