Everything

Everything

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

Well that's a rather vague title

"

If I could walk on clouds
And speak your name down.
Fate would cast me to the ground.
If I could write in clouds
And script your name there
Storms would stir the words from the air.

Everything I do
Moves me further away from you.
Everything I say
Causes you to draw back farther away.
Everything I do
Moves me away further from you.
Everything I say
Causes you to draw even farther away.

If you are in love
Then there is nothing more for me to say.
If you are happy
Then I guess that should make my day.
Because that’s what I want to hear.
Because that’s what I want for you.
And now it tells me-
You whisper in my ear-
There’s nothing left that I can do.

Everything I do
Moves me further away from you.
Everything I say
Causes you to draw back farther away.
Everything I do
Moves me away further from you.
Everything I say
Causes you to draw even farther away.

Love is like a game
Only the rich can play.
But it’s the poor in soul
Who can make it through the day.
If it was hollow
Then, holes wouldn’t hurt.
It always beat so loud
My love you had always heard.

Everything I do
Moves me further away from you.
Everything I say
Causes you to draw back farther away.
Everything I do
Moves me away further from you.
Everything I say
Causes you to draw even farther away.
