I don't know why I'm posting this. I don't know why I've written it. I don't know why there's bad rhyme in it when I don't like to rhyme. I don't know why I'm being open. I don't know why I can't come to terms with leaving. Well here goes. It's not well written it just spilled out of me.



Tell me there's something wrong with me

That I'm blowing things out of proportion

Right now I can't think or see clearly

Flooded by tears and emotion



Tell me it's going to be all right

That really I'm just confused

I long to hide in the night

And in its peace find refuge



Tell me that later I'll laugh

That I shouldn't worry

As I move across the map

Will you remember me?



Tell me I shouldn't feel this way

That I needn't cling

You're a rainbow in a day of gray

Please please won't you sing?



I can't shake the thought of losing you

Whether it's just for now or forever

Its all the same

And I can't, I won't, forget



Tell me we'll meet again

Tell me that it will be the same

Tell me that time doesn't change

Tell me you'll be all right



I can't shake the thought of losing you

Whether it's just for now or forever

Its all the same

And I can't, I won't, forget

April 20, 2005 - Hopelessly Hopeful

Hopelessly Hopeful



Out of control and “up in the air”,

but this air rests in the grip of gentle hands.



Beaten and weary,

trampled by unrelenting despair.

The sun is shining,

but shadows cloak the world.

Wounds of sadness sting,

nurtured by broken-hearted support.



Emptied by confusion.

Stabbed by questions.

Crippled by helplessness,

Barely enough strength for these tear-stained petitions.

Spirit charred by burning desire to understand.



In you, hopelessly hopeful.



Rendered mute,

the soul weeps silently,

prayers with no words,

whispered in your ear.

In you, I need not speak.

In you, I need not see.



In you, hopelessly hopeful.
