Bear-Foot

I wanna be your rock, your foothold so you can go into the world and know you can come back home any time you want your foundation will be waitin' I'll welcome you to my safe haven and we can snuggle so securely 'til the urge to be free takes you in go now, girl, you'll always know I'll be right here when you return again

Does he listen like I used to? Does he relax you like I used to? Does he care for you? Is he there for you? Does he laugh with you, like I used to? If yes, he does, I'm happy for you both If not, I'd like a chance to prove love's growth In all these ways, and more. You know, forever, I'll be yours. Just like I used to.

She don't know what she want She don't know what she has in front Of her face and I know. I know I can be there for her Love laugh and cry and when need deems take care of her But What can I do to prove love is, will, and has been When she searches for something that's lost deep within? I know I can help her find what she needs - if only she'd let me get down on my knees and give in to what was and what needs to be Again But I'm lost in her soul And she seeks, unknowingly, for me, in him.

I can't love again, not like I love you. I can try but I know it's too different. You're my first, my last, my all in between And try as I might I can't forget you.

You tell me you'll try this new guy for a while Individuality is key [or something] But what is this supposed to mean when all I can see is your eyes and that light inside when you smile at me? And I know you can feel the connection between All I want is to treat you like a queen And I'll be your anything. As long as I'm yours.

I fear anonymity, the death of memory, but you won't remember me. I don't remember myself.

Here, I lie. Awake. No one near to hear me shake Hell on earth is mine; I'm taking the high road. Escape in this neglected state is hard to find, yet worse to taste. I can't define the hurt inside me. ..take me further.. death defies me. Induced, my sleep, my mind's eraser. The morning light begins to glimmer. In her eyes I used to shimmer. Now nevermore, or more of never?

Older now, and what have I done? Sat and stared at dark horizons, never dared to light desire, to spark the flame that brings me higher. Why start now? The day is darkened. I'll be content to lay awake and dream of days to come, when maybe Ambition returns to crush the lazy. But not today. Today's not ready. My legs are tired and my eyes are heavy. You do your own, and I'll do mine. I might accomplish stuff, in time. Just let me be, and go your own way. Hell, I'll always have the next day.

Cold dust collects On dreams I never bet Someday maybe resurrect, But not yet. Hollow shadows Sleeping sun Stay the pace of wartime drums Another mad now, another hatred Dawns. Shoot and stand how Can I command The good in me can't understand It's other places, desecrated, Other faces, holy, But not sacred. Shallow graves of hate and sorrow Just to live until tomorrow How can it be justified when Other people burn and die and Us at home just sit and cry and Watch? Cold dust collects On my T.V. set. Warm hearts forget As I turn my head I think, But do nothing, Yet.

Close your eyes, into the deep, dark skies and let it in. Don’t try to hide. The hate that burns and turns and squirms is longing to get out again. The fight that could end up all right might turn into another night Alone. So give in. Let love win. And possibly someday you’ll find, that, given an amount of time, she comes around and flips you upside-down again. All right.
