Figure 8

A paradise laced with love
Two worlds apart yet still tied
Guidance needed from above
Untouched, unseen, and unbelieved 
Trust the heart in need of faith
Simple lives
Stress deprived
Can’t live in peace
Guide these lives that others see  
Can’t hide the truth behind 
Beneath the boat on top the sea
Danger’s smothering, salty blue
Break free the numbness
Lift high your head
Take strength from those that steer you
Build up the brawn
Build strong the will
Within these souls
No words describe devotion’s lust
No words can hear a broken love
Calling for them is their hearts
Yet no moves are being made
Don’t let it takeover logic
It’s not enough
but just disappear
No matter what plot
Maybe it’s not meant to be
No one wins
Can’t change the scenes
There’s still time on the clock
Like a game, fun at first
tired through it
conflict ensues
mad at the end
Start or Stop
Turns around, and keeps on walking
Looks down in regret
Couldn’t make this work
Shame, ashamed, blamed
Love, comfort, bonding, care
had once
Even if it’s said, it’s okay
This will never be the same
Too late.
