Here I stand betwixt hope and despair
Each staring gravely ready for an onslaught
This place of limbo I reside presently
Suffice with charm of it's own
Growing by the day
Widening by the hour
I stand betwixt life and death
Here right is charged for wrong
And love on this planet cannot rendezvous
Sitting on a binge all day long
Waiting against odds that things'd be ephemeral
The music is changing by the minute
Here I awaken to the jungle beat
My thought was, 'it will last longer, forever'
Reasons have watered down that dream
And the dance has gone haywire
The sky has turned gray with tears
At this lost that reason dare kill in cold blood
I embrace your heart and your spirit
With equanimity thinking that will be eternal
Each step pulls you away
Like some wild magnet at work
In a torn between heart
Don't know the cry we'll cry yet
I hear that such remains with our living
Can I concord this resolve yet?
Can I see the rainbow on the other side?
Giving you all was sheer pleasure
Taking that back, isn't a thing to have
The rivers will run dry for the season
Having to print my money with this color
Colors of eternal separation of the crush
Was it regal to say with pride all spoken?
The pieces will be sorted in time
And a dream despised come to life
I will then proudly embrace this first lost.
You will come back and continue some life
Live up to the promise of a voyage envisaged
Will wait till then to welcome you back home
Odds tell me I can withstand this brief
There is plenty for all of us in this rainbow
And I won't cry then, though I do now.
