Precious moments
June 29, 2007

We are broken
In pieces we lay
Many worlds between us
Our hearts gone astray
Too many hurt feelings
Have left us scarred for good
We don't see eye to eye
Perhaps we never could
.
The hateful words we've uttered
Replay endlessly in our minds
How could we be so vicious?
Were we always this unkind?
.
I guess we all have our reasons
I know I have mine
It doesn't have to be this way
Fear can make you blind
.
As I reach for something greater
Than this shell of a human self
I sense the achy feeling
Reminding me how we're left
No glue to bring us together
Painful memories to keep us apart
Time will keep on ticking
While we stay in the dark
.
We miss the precious moments
Holding on to our pride and pain
Not sharing the joy and tears
Tell me, what is it that we gain?
.
I used to be so happy
With the trio that I had
Three perspectives to guide me
On life's perilous path
.
That is all scattered to the winds
Tattered connections remain
Each one in their own corner
No one strong enough to change
.
Ultimately life and death will go on
Whether we reconnect or not
We all lose from this separation
Not knowing what we've got
.
Nobody is perfect
We've all made our mistakes
When will it be time to rise above
The bitterness and blame?
.
I feel that we are broken
It pains me everyday
If we don't come together
We'll all regret it one day
