A Push Away

5/19/10


A push away, you say,
Well, sometimes a hug and a smile
Are more than needed
Every once in a while

Only a stairwell away,
The atlas, pink heart, couch waiting,
Caught in between happiness and sadness
My heart is debating.

How grand is sunshine
When free of rain.
A simple push
Cannot stop the pain.

An immature courtship and friendships
Not fully able to develop.
Missing you, not a strong enough phrase;
It'll be hard to cope.

Comrades, amigos, friends to the end,
A second family away from home,
You've taught me more than anyone,
Please don't forget your traveling gnome.


Dedicated to the best staff, family, friends I've ever had the honor of having in my presence.

Continuing the Strife

I'm holding it together
I'm holding on forever
Don't let this be the end for me

Working many hours
The clock has the power
To change everything or nothing at all

And you'll say anything just to hold on to what you've got
You'll do the tricks that weren't made for you
Spoil children just to get you through

And maybe, I had an influence on your life
But believe me when I say I won't be back to continue this strife

I wish the picture in the frame were real
Smiling all the time, thinking we were fine
He laughed cause the veil was working
In relationships, he was lurking

You have him in your grip
But guess what, it's about to slip
You can't control everything you want to
Look at your past, that's truer than true.

Let go and enjoy your time here
Stop making everything about your career
You're both holding on to something useless
Don't push God out with your excuses

I can't explain, because your ears can't hear...


And you'll say anything just to hold on to what you've got
You'll do the tricks that weren't made for you
Spoil children just to get you through

And maybe, I had an influence on your life
But believe me when I say I won't be back to continue this strife

There's just too much strife
I'll pray for you, but that's all there's left to do...


Dedicated to two people in my life that I love very much.
