WHICH WAY ARE YOU GOING?
You keep toing and froing
Backwards and forwards
With your never knowing
Your hopes and wishes
You keep dashing them why?
You’ve always dreamed of them
But what is scaring you?
I know what it is to dream
Have so many wishes
Hoping that they’ll come true
And see them through
But you!
Not I
Cannot seem to abide
All that seems to reside
Inside
You come to me for counsel
The rain lashing outside
Your head bent against the weather
Hunched back
Pulling your umbrella tighter
Why cannot you be the once renowned fighter?
What happened to you?
That was so you through and through
You had visions
You said
“I’m on a
mission”
But you never saw them through
What happened to you?
“It’s you!”
“I’m in love with you!”
“You through and through”
“You are my mission”
“You are my vision”
“Can you not see?”
“Can you not feel it?”
“Where would I be without
you?”
“In a world so cruel”
“But this world without you
is unbearable”
“I cannot breathe without
you”
“This world of mine is
worthless without you”
“Every time I see you I just
go weak”
“Weak, weak, weak”
“Then I cannot speak”
“You have me trembling”
“Then I remember the
remembering”
“Our times together,
whatever, together”
“Can’t you see or feel
anything?”
“Like I feel, like I feel!”
“Babe you drive me to
insanity”
“This pouring rain is no
comfort”
“The crowds drive me insane”
“Every footstep that I take
to you is for you”
“I cannot hide, I cannot
run”
“I do not want to hide or
run”
“Except keep running to you”
“No more toing and froing”
“I’m sick and tired of being
alone”
“You should be with me
babe!”
“You and I together forever”
“We need to live our lives
to be free”
“Free, free, free”
“Free together but as one”
“So come on say something,
anything”
“Let me come in out of the
pouring rain”
“Forever, together”
