Ode
10/7/02
You didn't want to be mine, I got over it, it's okay
And you're still fun to be around and talk to every day
But as you may or may not know, I understand your pain
Cuz I've gone through it all myself, as the moon will wax and wane
I know to you it seems the earth is awfully dark and deep
And every morning's like unlocking a dusty dungeon's keep
To you it seems that every day the cobwebs pile high;
Higher than the day before, but tomorrow to the sky
If only the concrete ceiling would open to the day
Perhaps you could grow glittering wings and, quick, flutter away
Or the iron bars that cage you in could grow hot and ignite
Then the glowing embers, melting steel, would shed a little light
And if you could use your mind power and focus on the walls
The sun would poke its head inside when the rock shatters and falls
But the room is always darkest when you have your eyes closed tight
For even if the room was lit, it would block out the light
I know it seems that times are tough; you don't know what to do
But perhaps it would help just a bit to know I care for you
And everything I've told you that expressed just how I feel
Stands quite true up to this day, my love for you is real.
