Bent Words

September 01, 2004

I'll hear of you; the fame the fable

To all of which you are more than able

The precision of your hand

The knowledge you command

The weary work of longer hours

The dreary frown you somehow cover

I'll hear of you; the questions of your present state

"How's he doing, how's he been and why's he late?"

The slight of life they cannot see

The grip we call our destiny

The latter half or the better part

The days we claim a brand new start

I'll hear of you; whether you're here or there

Out of range or locked deep within my sweeping stare

The feelings of which I cannot approach

The exacting words upon which I choke

The understanding combined with frustrated fear

The curses beneath my breath or of my exhalting cheer

I'll hear of you; despite the clammer, above the rise

I'll never relinquish the beauty of one last compromise

The tender thoughts all spoken in vain

The end result that stays the same

The dreams undressed and how you wish of more

The mesmorizing thought that I've heard it all before

I'll hear of you; when I wander, where I'll be

I'll hold on tight, to all of you, tucked away inside of me...
