A hundred things not to say
when everything else has failed
I'm deaf in one ear
and blind from the sight of you.
I think I may be falling in love again
falling apart
as the world around me struggles in vain
to try and prove me wrong this time.
Maybe I just care...
or maybe I don't
and I'm being deceptive with myself again
Maybe it doesn't matter either way.
You haven't behaved this strangely
since a year ago
when we were trying out our first steps
on eggshells... on broken glass
trying not to upset the precarious balance
trying not to prove ourselves right again.
I wonder where this will end up next time?
Will we finally realize that this game
has not been in vain...
and that while we both may have lost
we both have won a prize
greater than any we had hoped for...
greater than anything we had experienced before?
Maybe I care...
I don't know...
maybe it's just another passing satellite
getting lost
in the wide open
that is the human psyche... |
