friends and lovers, but sometimes just friends
We have always been friends
we have sometimes been lovers
We are mostly parents
We have rarely been friends and lovers at the same moment in time
I live in my surreal world and you in your universe unknown to me
I willingly gave you my devotion, loyalty, passion all in the form of my body, is there any
blame to be laid that we didn't play it that way? Jealousy, questions, unbidden pain, shame,
perpetual lies,
desperation, sickness, volcanic anger, mischievous intent
these have been a few of the things we have shared
these are a few of my least favorite things
I hear myself screaming inside my head and then I rant
This must stop!
All this must end!
All we can do is to pretend
that we are more then just friends.
I tried to find you in the realm of eternal love
I lost myself when I stumbled into all that keeps you from me
I look into a mirror, I'm no longer sure I know who I see
Who is that woman when there's no you and me?
I think I've met her once or twice.
She's the one that's so nice.
The one that's not so sad.
Not always angry.
This must end!
The beginning is the typical reflection of this end. We are a
stereo type, a whole set of statistics, a foregone conclusion, in spite of all the good intentions we
have managed to become all the things we were warned about. the wise ones, all those gut
feelings and silent pleadings. Sometimes doing the right thing is not the best choice. Maybe it
was, but it can't last like this much longer. You may not be able to see, I've tried to keep this
sorrow all my own. I'm not sure if I've done this to shelter you from the rain, or to keep from
having to confess my shame. Besides I thought I needed all this pain so I could lay down all the
blame. Just one more grievance then I'd have my evidence you were the one who should have
felt the same. The problem was the one more always came. I weigh the scales, I saw the score but
I didn't want to see the end of the game .
We have always been friends
We have mostly been parents
Sometimes parents should just be friends
