wonder:
Leaning
Softly forward
Curled over

Breathing
Bitter gasps
Stomach clasped

All you dreamed
Its now gone
Prayed nightly for it
Wanted for so long

You cry and pray
But you know its true
Horrid feelings
Are whisking through

You laid at night
Awaiting the day
Tried so hard
Now its gone away

How can this be happening
What makes it so
Voyaging beyond your worst fear
Why did it have to go
Thought passing through your mind
But they move so slow

How can this be true
You gave all for the offering
Under a sky so blue
Why all the suffering

You ponder
You must know why
You question
Why cat you just cry
You wonder
Is there a reason why
You surrender
Now the tears will fly

Faces:
See them sitting along
Been there for so many years
They love each other fully
Accepted all their fears

When he was a young men
He courted all around
One glimpse of paradise
New exactly what he’d found

As a young lady
Things she would not do
Passion not withstanding
She had to follow through

Looking at a life spent
They know they did it right
Sensational feeling
Even when it wasn’t bright

Riding all the highs
Cruising through the lows
Don’t know how they did it
Guess that’s just how love should go

Even when it was bitter
Candy on each breathe
Sweet smell of unity
Together life and death

Don’t know quite how
They always made along
Something burned inside
Forged their love strong

And when its all over
Ill look at you and me
Wonder to myself
Is that how our love will be
The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

    This one reminds me of a line from Samuel Beckett's "Endgame", a great play:

    "You cried for night; it falls: now cry in darkness."

    beckett and endgame disturb me greatly -- not that that is not what art is supposed to do

    but i read endgame once, a long time ago, and that was enough

    the great thing about disturbing things is that they distrb you. Imagine if nothing did.
