BETWEEN THE LINES

BETWEEN THE LINES

A Poem by Lou R
"

Do we sometimes say too little? Sometimes too much???

"

Why can people never

Say just what they mean

Come right out and say it

Without the words between

 

Between the lines

Where we sometimes read too much

Between the lines

Forever out of touch

 

We misunderstand each other

Destroy each other's dreams

Not knowing when we need to

How to read the words between

 

Between the lines

Where we leave so much unsaid

Between the lines

Where nothing's ever read

Between the lines

Where we feel so insecure

Between the lines

Where our future's never sure

 

So we go on wandering

Through life's drifting dreams

Trying to find the meaning

Lost in the words between

 

Between the lines

That divide the dark and the light

Between the lines

Where we can't tell day from night.
