Won’t you Hear Me?
Please listen to my words
Hear what I really say
Don’t assume you understand
The words mean exactly what you hear
There is so much more
Behind those simple words
Yet if you reject what I say
There is no point in trying stay
~~~~~~
It’s really not that hard
Just hearing the actual words being said
Hearing the emotion
In your heart and not your head
There is no hope in going on this way
Like ships on different courses
Whose paths were never meant to cross
Of course they’ll never meet
~~~~~~
I see a stranger before me
One I thought I knew so well
But the man I thought I knew
Couldn’t say or do what you have said and done
I don’t know you any longer
This feeling keeps growing ever stronger
~~~~
How much more should I endure
Before I drown under this load
NO MORE
The dreams are gone and shattered
Like so much else that no longer matters
~~~~~
I’m empty inside
A feeling I try to hide
But it must end soon
I’ll be gone before the next full moon
And try to regain all I have lost
My heart, my soul, my self-respect
There’s nothing esle I could now expect.
