Blah 2

Mother May I?

Mother may I try?
Mother may I cry?
Can I feel?
I want to be real.
Can't you see
this is who I want to be?

Mother may I dream?
Mother may I scream?
Can I fly?
I want to touch the sky.
Can't you understand
this is who I am?

Mother may I live?
Mother may I give?
Can I be?
I want to be free.
Can't you comprehend
this is where it ends?

I searched the whole damn world for you
I looked under every rock
I opened every door
I turned every corner
And I never found you

Until I came back to the place
Where I had started it all

And there you were
Waiting for me.

I don't believe in angels
but someone is always watching over me.
I don't believe in ghosts
but they still manage to scare me.
I don't believe in aliens
but I wouldn't mind being abducted.
I don't believe in love at first sight
but it doesn't mean it can't happen.
I don't believe in much
until I see the truth.

I wanted to get away for awhile,
so I decided to take a walk.
You had been on my case all day
and I needed some time on my own.
But on my walk so many things reminded me of you,
so even on my walk I couldn't get alone.

The gentle breeze blowing
reminded me of you,
asleep next me,
your breath on my face.

The children laughing
reminded me of you,
happy as you told me
you loved me.

The storm clouds overhead
reminded me of you,
angry as we got into
another fight over nothing.

I wanted to get away for awhile,
but now I just want to get home to you.

My heart is weary,
filled with turbulence
as the clock chimes
the hour at hand.
The witching hour
is approaching fast.
Darkness delights the night outside
as the shadows accompany the light inside.
Silence surrounds me
and I wonder where you are.
