Incomplete Feelings This morning I woke up falling from the sky this mourning is surrounding me and I wonder why I'm left to my own destruction funny that I'm too proud to function and pull the parachute before I hit the ground I guess I figured she'd always be around Reserving my reservations for a dirty April day a seclusion of amusement somewhere down ocean way her smile hits me like a ton of bricks like a boxer I take my last violent licks and hit the floor, out for the counting the blackness comes like a glittering bounty unearthed in my crumbling soul she was scheduled to come and make me whole but she spent all her adoration on some other guy leaving me painting imaginary faces in the sky It frustrates me this aborted love-to-be swimming inside me still with her fingers in the kill Skyline reflected on the cars in midtown the rain is weighing me down still I don't make a sound Valentine for such an abnormal girl I found love and gave it a whirl now these incomplete feelings are killing my world This evening I found sleep like a miracle drug this thieving of my dreams gives me a hard tug at my imploding heart I've been alone from the start a shipwreck lost under the waves of her memory my hopes run aground, such a sad sad story When removing Cupid's arrow, be sure to breathe any number of holes in my heart I can concieve were once filled by her love like a sunray and once upon a time, we had so much to say to eachother, but now for ex-lovers, a quiet storm a thunder raging inside me, leaving me ripped and torn I unearthed a crumbling world I can rebuild around me to keep out abnormal girls in this love's inertia I can float like a leaf straight to a new life to my endless relief It amazes me this impending life-to-be waiting for me over the next hill nervously, I take another pill Skyline reflected in the water in my cup the wind is lifting me up I'm happy as a little pup Valentine remembering her like this the soft sensation of her kiss and these incomplete feelings I can't resist Instructions on how to resist love from keeping you down: pull the parachute before you hit the ground don't figure she'll always be around when removing Cupid's arrow, be sure to bleed it's important to feel, important to need a love like a sunflower, you can plant the seeds to bloom in your heart, you'll feel it tingling to complete your feelings "Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey |
