One day at a time
Whirlwinds of confusion
Love and hate
You find me
crumpled of confinement
tattered by life
with solemn hand’s you reach for me
fear in your eyes
not for the look of my disarray
but for the passion that still burned inside
A man with will that was buried long ago
edges roughed by time he didn’t let go
coffee we drank as he explained
I have lost my life to the love of a women
my heart and soul she buried with haste
whats left now is the remains of a man who used to be
child I see so much of you in me
I want you to listen, listen to me!
let love in
Take someones hand
when its right you’ll know
turn away from the cold
be more than what I know
I looked in his eyes a passion there
he couldn’t hide
lost loves and hate
cold and bitter were his traits
softening around the eyes
too much for him to hide
I listened with intent
for his soul had never died
we spoke of pasts
pain and my state of disarray
as our conversation neared its end
he took my hand
with a solemn goodbye
he said “Child let love in”
I look back on those days
the lost soul he saved
and i wonder where he is
could he ever let love in once again?
