Have You Ever

Used shoes fit better than puzzle pieces...much love and respect to b. boyd.

To give up and forget all the pain is just not possible
So do what you have to just don't toss any straws
For all the hay you raise there's a foundation ready to crack
So we'll keep this drama as real
As the limits of fiction will allow

I'd tell you to walk a mile but that path's grown over
I'd show you a tree that fell and now it's a bridge
I'd love you to see what it all looks like
Because it's nothing you haven't ever seen

Think about it, secerts are very seductive
But keeping secrets can be so very lonely
Why don't we take a trip, just like Leo and Cate
The ice is on the way so we can toast the drink together

I'd tell you to read between the lines but words are inked invisible
I'd show you the poetry that floats and falls but is mistaken for prose
I'd love you to see the waves meet me at the center of it all
Because it's nothing you haven't ever seen

If we gave it all our focus and attention
We'd only end up ignoring each other

I'd tell you to dream of a tree
I'd show you the relics of an accident
I'd love you to become me
Because it's like nothing you've ever seen

WOW This is amazing! I love the deepness and plot it thickens as I read on. Very well written write here. Muchly enjoyed this.

Again, such depth of intimacy to one whom he can't be intimate with? Such a moving poem.
