One Man's Lyric
A Poem by
Jeff
My dirty hands
Touch her clean flesh
My eyes seek
Her lightening eyes
I reach for reality
Pull back my dreams
Surrounded by loneliness
This low man's feelings
I can't forget
The one
Who ran away
So long ago
I confess to
These pages
I lie to the rain
That falls below
I write to you
Words full
Of meaning
And unrequited love
What will be
Will surely be
What will come
Will come to pass

Rather sad poem about the longing we feel sometimes for someone who is no longer in our lives. Nicely done.

A sad and touching song filled nonetheless with hope that fate will be good in the end. I could imagine these as a real song.
Great lyrics.
