Pairing (8/28/2005)

Here’s a story of two people who are sharing their compassion
Both under different steeples but still the same attraction
But they need to take some action as everything is rotting
The walls they built are falling and the blood of love is clotting
And to everyone, it’s shocking, cause apart they’re so much better
But weakness filters in everytime they get together
If this pairing couldn’t work then what hope is left for us
If all they feel is hurt, then no soul is left to trust

Let’s take a look at her and try to get our bearings
She, wanted all along, a chance at this whole pairing
Approaching it seemed scary, but she gave it all it needed
Until the day was born and hope and joy succeeded
But, energy depleted, she wanted some return
A little bit of effort that’s put in to ease the burn
But now her stomach churns as she waits there by the phone
Clenching at her heart as she sits there all alone
Cause even when she’s home, he is rarely there
A ghost within her darkness, she needs to know he cares
But all he does is stare and give her empty promises
Now she is feeling scared, but wanting to move on with this

Now, lets flip it back to him and analyze the story
A little lost within and he finds his life so boring
Never really open and never really knowing
What it means to share a love and leave your feelings showing
Though, his heart inside is glowing behind the outter shell
He wants his space to live without hearing her just yell
But trapped inside a hell of not being good enough
Not knowing who to be and maybe fearing total trust

It’s funny how these things always get so complicated
We forget just what we have and get so damn frustrated
Never really happy with a smile and compassion
That’s why most pairings fail, we all want more to happen

Back Story: Not really my place to explain the details, but it’s a true story or, at least, my interpretation of it. This is not about me.
