Unfinished recent work

6-17-08
I won't lay judgment or place blame
I won't breath your scent near me
I won't ask questions or tell lies
I won't believe a single word you say
I won't finish what I've so eagerly started
I won't try to keep you against your will

You're just so much more
So much less than I

I can't sit straight or stay still
I can't see how this could ever work
I can't explain what I don't understand
I can't keep returning back to you
I can't cool off from my race of time
I can't touch my own skin anymore

You're just so much more
So much less than I

Rules are meant to be broken
And we break them with such enthusiasm
With such eloquence and grace
As you're standing right in front of me
Burning into my skin
That you constantly touch
No sense of remorse tonight

And this is how we live our lives
Without second thoughts or chances
Because we will never
Get this back

Unfinished . . .

We washed our hands of this disaster
Because we could never understand
How coming clean would start it over
We'll never become who we wanted to be
We'll never dream in the same never land

It's been broken by every breath
By every single malicious look
It was over before it even started
If only we could have seen it sooner

Unfinished . . .

Do you know who you are
And what you stand for?
Do you know where you're going
Or even how to get there?

Are you brave enough
To take another step forward?
Are you careful enough
To know where to put your feet?

I know who I am
And what I stand for
I know where I'm going
And how to get there

I'm brave enough
To take that extra step
I'm careful enough
To know where my feel belong
