The noise of reality grates
when she steps towards the gate
life drives by on a six-lane highway
never stopping to let her in
just slowing for a look then speeding away
to places that shes never been

Her eyes crawl round to peak through the gap
but her face cant face whats peaking back
a world devoid of hope
where fate broadcasts through a daytime soap
where gladness is madness
and sadness despair
thats when she needs him badly
thats when hes not there

She retreats from the gate in sorrow
someday she'll try again
but not tomorrow.

Cool metaphors -

The noise of reality grates

Ain't that the truth!
