Can you hear me smile?
I don’t think so … or
Can you feel my heart cry?
I don’t think so … or
You would still be holding my hand through it all
or
Would you casually replace all that I gave you?
Either way, you have vacated all that I dreamt
so
My smile can no longer be heard by you and
My heart is no longer crying in losing you,
But my mind joined them both in a celebration.
Can you see me wonder?
I don’t think so … or
Can you smell the beauty?
I don’t think so … or
You would still be holding my hand so tightly
or
Would you greedily take all that’s been given to you?
As the spree of wonder and beauty continue,
My wonder becomes vivid indifference and
My beauty expands as more around me is seen,
But the celebration in my mind continues.
Can you taste the tears I cry?
I don’t think so … or
Can you feel my footsteps?
I don’t think so … or
You would still be trying to hold on my hand now
Or
Would you continue to pursue all that you lost?
Now all you can do is join the celebration,
With me and share tears and listen to my footsteps
Gradually become distant as I walk on toward
Where the earth meets the sky and leaves you all alone.
and … I leave you hearing smiles,
feeling hearts cry
and … I leave you wondering and
smelling beauty,
and … I leave you tasting tears and
feeling footsteps,
Gathering together in a nightmare just for you.
Now I ask you to look no further than your soul,
To feelings you have held deep within for so long,
Just capturing your breath of life away as quick
As if it was given to you at your very birth.
