A Long Wind

Can’t undo the past
What’s done is done
Make a new moment
That lasts longer for the
Imagination is
Much more brilliant
Than a few telephone wires
You try to love me
But it feels like you don’t want me
Maybe that’s just your style
You try to love me
But it feels like you don’t want me
Been hoping this would change for awhile
Now all we have are distant
Memories of the past
Some of them broken
Some built to last
And even if we were to gravitate
Our coping would end up
Where we were the time before
Because we can’t undo the past
What’s done is done
And now new moments wait for us
Even with all the words
That could’ve said the best
Our trust revoked a bitter test
Is there a lifetime for this one
Or is it just what’s done is done
Maybe the safety that we harbored
For our future will end up
Meeting us somewhere that hurts less
And the best will be the best
We can just forget the rest
Your voice is warm but
Your words are cold
You try to love me
But it feels like you don’t want me
Some people say things
That come out different
You try to love me
But it feels like you don’t want me
Where’s the beginning
Wanting to return there
Back to the place where
We had more fun
When fun was fun
Before what’s done is done

One at a Time

The unfolding of your words
From the deepest wellspring
Giveth light to the faraway
Understanding this has
Always been paradoxical
And ever will continue

Always previously given
With an undying
Debt to attachment
Something one can’t shake
Like a feeling that takes over you
My unrelenting crush

Call to me and I will answer you
Though the downtime feels a bit
Like a straitjacket for love

About such an appeal
There is only one way to deal
The cards out between you and I

One at a time
