Short, Simple and Confused
Short, Simple and Confused (1/11/2008)
The air is cold, but we’re both right here
And I’m not alone when I hold you near
I’ll hold our pain til I drown in fear
For just one day without those tears
But nothing’s clear and nothing’s easy
When your words just stop and leave me
What is wrong and what’s the feeling?
What’s been done to leave you reeling?
Cause what it’s stealing is so precious
The light and fire for this message
The calm to get us through these messes
The crane to lift off all our stresses
The strength to stand when life tests us
And the will to sleep when we’re restless
Why’s it left us? Where’s it gone to?
I want to help because I want you
These words are short and so damn simple
Confusing thoughts caught in a riddle
How to help when outside the middle?
When not allowed inside a little
My mind can twiddle and drift away
But I won’t let it split today
I want to help you, I want to be there
Because one time we said that we care
Notes: The most simplistic piece I’ve written in a long time. It won’t amaze anyone with it’s words or style, but sometimes it’s not about being flashy.
