Fallen Tree

Where are you?
I know you're there
I can't find you
through the tears
You lurk deep within
Without you all I'm nothing

Love enough
Hate is tough
Anger rough
Pity, my love

I still don't feel you
No taste, sounds or smells
To see and recognise too

You are somewhere
I'm pretty damn sure
You seem unaware
I'm hurting some more

Compassion and sympathy
Comparison and empathy
Emotional and tragically
Companions and destiny

Love can grate
Pride can wait
Wounds can heal
Scars concealed

I am on your side, altho
I cannot hide, tho
I will not fight, tho
I cannot lie, tho
You already know

Tiered and worn out
Emotions always in doubt
Inside screams and shouts
Exterior cracks about

My weary eggshell soul
Born, played and sold
Reborn, strayed and told
Mysterious history unfolds
A path is paved in gold?

Right or wrong is long
Now or then is gone
Brightly shining on
Passing those who belong
Alone forever in mourn

Sometimes I do fall
Hard enough to crawl
Rising up to stand tall
Giving it a go and my all

Whistle away the pain
Emotions down the drain
Walk in thundering rain
Again, again, at blame

Be gone!
Me wrong?
We done!
Re-run?

Look within you not me
I'll find my own way to be
Seek and you may see
Me sat beside a fallen tree
