So It Seems So Few

 

So it seems so few

 

I’ve painted your picture in the glass

Enjoy the colors of sweet release and

Play the critic,

that’s just what I need

All those around you,

You rule what they see

 

And it’s enough to just make you run from

Everything that comes clear to you

Fight to fold the hand or load the gun

Solutions so it seems so few

 

I know all you care to hear

Isn’t apologies from me

oh I know everything you’d say if I cared to listen

But your tears are just accused

 

Of emotion or need for pity

You know that’s what I’d love to give to you

As you sit though so pretty,

It doesn’t seem the thing to do

And I know

 

It’s enough to just make you run from

Everything that comes clear to you

Fight to fold the hand or load the gun

Solutions so it seems so few

For me and for you

 

While I was away you fed your lies

Taught your daughter to slowly die

Forsaking your gift and your purity

Just to make a fool of me

Well I know

 

It’s enough to just make you run from

Everything that comes clear to you

Fight to fold the hand or load the gun

Solutions so it seems so few

For me and for you

Well, I think your writing is brilliant...well-crafted, captivating, cerebral. Since I know you are a musician, I can't help pondering how geat this poem will sound as lyrics to a song. Thank you for sharing this.

feels like helping kill or stopping the process...very conflicted emotions here. Just what the heart of a sweet girl goes through...

Your heart is pure princess....

jeez jen...

this left me speechless for a bit...and that is not easy to do...

profoundly emotional and bittersweet with more bitter than sweet. you have very deep feelings the blessing and maladiction of the poet...i get the sense that poetry helps you as much as me.
