This is a direct link
From my mind to yours
And I wonder
If you even get it at all

I don’t think you see
The emotions pouring out of me
And I don’t think you feel
What these words really mean to me
I don’t think you know
The effect your thoughts have on me
I don’t think you know me at all

This is a direct quote
From my mouth to yours
And I wonder
If you feel it at all

This line right here
Is directly from my heart to yours
And this smile right here
See the way the line rips and curls
A few words to you
A clump of rock among all these pearls
But I don’t think you know me at all

A few simple words
I know that’s all they are to you
And few simple rhymes
I’m sorry that’s all I can do
But they are filled
With so many emotions though they seem but few
And still you don’t know me at all

These are my dreams
These are my very happiness
These are my secrets
Although not too secret I must confess
Through poetry
Is the only way I can convey this mess
But I don’t think you know me at all

And it all seems to simply fade away
When you read me
(Can you see me?)
These sentiments simply fade away
When you read them
(Can you see them?)

And it’s all just fading away…

And my dreams are laughing at me
And they’re quickly fading away
But my life is laughing at me
And it’s quickly fading away
But my soul is portrayed through this
So it can live another day
My soul shines through this
But it’s quickly fading away

I try so hard to tell you what I’m thinking
But I’m sinking
And I try so hard to show you what I’m feeling
When I’m reeling
And it all just comes out nonsense
Nothing solid, often stolid
I can’t seem to get it right
My purpose has been lost to my sight
And I just try to write one more night
But I can’t to get you to understand me at all


*************************************************


Can you see the pain?
It’s written so clearly
Of love that has been lost
I’ve loved so dearly
And now all I seek
Is for you to understand
And to weave feelings into words
At my command

But I can’t seem to connect
As you do
And I write in half-hearted rhymes
Just to get me through
Rough times and lost loves
Sad but true
And still I can’t seem
To make you love
To understand
Just to know
Me…
…
…
…
As I know you
