This is a song for my band that I wrote.  Right now it is only in the lyrical stage, but hopefully soon we will have some music to go along with it.

Familiar Face


You say two minds
Are always better than one
But I say that one mind
Has never done me any wrong
How can I trust anybody
That I don’t recognize
Give me a choice to pick a face
And I’ll always choose mine

Turn around and go back
To where you came from
Should of known you were coming
Never had a chance to run
By now you should of seen the signs
That were placed in front of you
I don’t need anybody
Except for myself

Waking up alone is always blinding
But waking up at all is always frightening
There are many things I’d like to do
If I only knew you
But I don’t know how

Maybe someday
You could be
A familiar face to me too

I knew that you thought
You were the only one
But I hope now you’ve caught
The idea I threw at you
That my heart never would part
For anyone else but me
I know our times were always strong
But you were never the only one
And neither was she

Waking up alone is always blinding
But waking up at all is always frightening
There are many things I’d like to do
If I only know you
But I don’t know how

Maybe someday
You could be
A familiar face to me too

Hopefully someday
You could be
A familiar face to me too

~Yes, yes,...please keep us informed.  This poem made me think of a time that I went through (which seemed like forever)..where I didn't want anyone but me...and I didn't want to get close to anyone or share myself because I never wanted to feel the loss in the end.  It all happened after two of my good friends passed away,..in a terrible car accident. Anyway,...I didn't want to be close to anyone,..or love anyone that way I would never feel that again. Ok, I'll shut up because this has nothing to do with your wonderful piece of poetry.  BUT,...this is what it stirred in me, so I thought I'd let you know.  The reference being to always choosing you.  Anyhow,... I believe these to be very cool lyrics for a song, and if this be your own personal story,...then I hope that the one spoken of turns out as you wish.  ???  Heck,.... I don't know what I'm saying...see what a song (poem) can do to you...I'm all fuzzy now...thinking about what this brought on for me. Hell,..ok I'll stop.  I enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment on my poem...much appreciated. *Peace.
