The Promise In You

l

l

l

Do you believe in ghosts?

What about true love devolving to doubt?

Did déjå vu ever control you with vertigo?

Ever have a hint of intuition about another?

l

Try to walk the curb, but I am clumsy

Too many feet on one side to walk on you

Too many to run you over on the other

Right when you think you got it, you fall.

l

Ever seen someone make blue jeans look unique?

Been entranced by a body part you rarely notice?

Feel the fear but know the growing freedom

From that constant inner critic, the one who's never wrong.

l

Let it go

Feel the breeze

Think you are flying

l

You can't let go

Why did you tease?

Now you're falling

l

I was pretty good at math

But it seems I can't count on you

You hate your poetry

But you're pretty good at writing me off.

l

That's not entirely true

Chaos controlled then spilled

Took a big risk for romance

Rush me to the hospital, broken

l

Like Humpty Dumpty I'm in pieces

An egg? I say it was a heart.

Although yours is white out and yellow inside

With a shell created from demon's games.

l

Let it go

Feel the breeze

Think you are flying

l

You can't let go

Why did you tease?

Now you're falling

l

Why must you take the devil's counsel?

When so many times you can be true.

How can you deny this true love?

Is it because all you've known is pain?

l

You keep me caged in agony

Over the promise of you

Why can't I get over you?

Because I see the promise in you
