4The never-ending water that seeps through the eye of my soul
Constantly yearning for that solid base of which to tread my ear upon
No wanting to feel the pain I see; regret
You don't see how my pen writes in sound waves
You don't understand how my hand looks at the paper
You will never know the thoughts running with my feet
And my sense of direction, lost in my sense of comprehension
I will never understand how GOD looks upon my thumbprint
I won't know that HE constantly strokes the hairs on my head
I will jump high, only to land in YOUR arms again
I won't see YOUR face until I know YOUR voice
Only to follow the paths of my own
The ones I hear blindly
While looking into the heavens
To try and find a ruby to cry on
I no longer know red
I no longer feel the clouds
All I know is the touch
Of a soft word from YOU
It's that fiery shadow
Disobeying gravity, and losing its fumes to the sky
My soul will no longer drink words
From your mouth, for they make me run dry
I can no longer sing for you
These words that I am restricted to
For I know deep inside the meanings
That they numbly live by
You don't understand how my tears caress them so
You don't see how my lips love those pages that I heed to
It is my life, the way I live it, singing all day long
That makes that resounding word jealous of it all
So that makes me wonder why you treat me so
The way that your ink runs, seeping through into my soul
Taking all you have tried to say, putting it aside
And wind up, looking into your eye
Embrace finally conquers the words that disappear
With the light in place you hear mighty tears
A glance or two and it's all paid for
No more climbing the steady, vertical floor
