Invisible Friend (5/22/2006)

When I wake up in the morning, I remember the issues
The things inside my head that remind me I miss you
And though we only talk inside of imperfect dreams
It’s the thought of your voice that closes my tearing seams
Because I’m bearing the fiends that always keep me so lonely
Until I talk to you because I think that you know me
And the things that you show me, have shown me … whatever
The point of the matter is that you keep me together
And make me feel better and get me back on my feet
So I can prove to the world that I still haven’t been beat
I think that maybe I’m crazy for having lonely discussions
But it’s all that I have, you’re my emergency button

I guess I find it ironic, though, that only now I am talking
Maturely venting to you in a way to help me keep walking
I’ve been growing inside and trying to find an example
Of when it’s okay to pray and grab for the handle
And look for assitance and search for compassion
A beautiful spirit to listen and guide a few actions
You’re one of my closest friends even though I can’t see you
Getting me through the days that I don’t want to breathe through
Though I don’t want to need you, I can swallow my pride
I try to do that so often because I’m hollow inside
I try to follow the lines that you seem to be painting
And hope that you’re right and that it’s really worth waiting
Because I’m sick of evading and stuffing it deeper
You look so damn peaceful, I’ve been wanting a breather
You’re my break and my guidance and my lone inspiration
You’re the friend I can’t see, but always showing me patience
