she had never seen
someone’s eyes see only her
she had never heard
a voice both foreign and home
she had never felt
a touch meant for her alone
she had never said
such things to another soul
she had never known
until this very moment
it could be like this

layer by stony layer
she fashioned alone
a fortress like no other
year by lonely year
she retreats from pain until
joy can not find her
day by numbing day
sanctuary becoming
solitary hell
crack by gleaming crack
she wakes to find hope creeping
crawling across walls
weakened by her growing will
to reveal her truth
layer by stony layer

don’t forget to say goodbye
if you walk away
look me in the eye
tell me all the reasons why
when you walk away
be kind and certain
remember it does matter
how you walk away
whatever you do
no fading into nothing
no hiding in the shadows
give me a chance to say
it’s okay
as you walk away
for tonight we drink
and feast on the living joys
celebrating our
ordinary everyday’s
wonders thrills marvels
sharing laughing loving
let us miss not one
no not one
tonight

I fear most the drift
washed away without design
left alone to chance
I loathe most the drift
bowing to the swells of fate
soul’s white flag to chance
I miss most the drift
freed of any crooked stokes
not my fault but chance

which door do I choose?
each one leads to another
hall of confusion

I want it all she says
while reaching, reaching, reaching
with one open hand
the other held close
afraid to release what was
doubting what could be
she says I know that
two hands are better than one
but one dream is better than none

she spirals in vain
as her mind ever wanders
in search of respite
and relief from her very
ordinary life
