Separate avenues
paved and rough cut
uncut footage found
you on the trail
and on the dusty path
I found you sitting there
along the stairs
would loneliness prevail
reveal the truths of what
I've hidden there
our lives intertwined
though distance kept
our simple lives behind
rewind to bitter times
on the fast track to
a better life
and you could not understand
that the path I take
Is no longer on demand
you reprimand
me for that which I cannot change
for separate chances take
a turn of paths
and my rough road is set
our time along the road is met
on all sides with troubles
we are beset
so take the high road with me
if you'd like to see the view
but know this: we are both askew
from what a lovers life should stew
my pot is empty, yours is brewing
overflowing with love true
I'm a ticking clock
chains overwrought
with weighs I cant undo
but we gave our love a shot
buck shot scattered over you
backfired and desired
more than I could ever do
my perception filters down to
my self image underdone
uncooked ego under wrung
and each ladder rung is
grease coated and lose
so then we come to THIS
our original path
full circle we've come
and it has come to THIS
should we travel together
or continue on alone?
Its more than chance
that we met along the roads
undisclosed were our destinations
hidden arrival times
and reasons to live on
but every step we took
it lead us closer still
to the one closest together
to the place where our dreams
would be fulfilled
I cannot predict the future
barely can I remember the past
so should we walk together?
No longer lovers
but still with hands clasped?
I am a bitter stranger
pill hard to swallow
but sweet upon the tongue
you are a lonely lady
needing comfort
BUT require time in the sun
and my path is shrouded
from the light that you would need
to prosper makes me perspire
and I simply cannot take the lead
so make the call or flip a coin
take the reigns or leave it up to
by chance we meet one day
it will be as friends
