  • I know you can't hear me
    I know you're not there
    I know you won't come back
    you've gone
    I don't remember where.

    I know you don't listen
    and that you're not afraid
    I know that you've left me
    it's okay
    I'd do the same.

    I'm sorry I hurt you
    I'm sorry for much
    sorry for all the good times
    and the bad
    and the plain kinds...

    I wish you were here now
    to dry all my tears
    to fight all my fears
    that sneak from under the bed
    when I don't have the strength to face them.

    Then again, now that I think
    you always were there
    you always were fighting
    you always were laughing
    you were always the type I could count on.

    And though I pretend to be solid
    the one weeping willow in Hell
    the one you can rely on to have shade in the heat
    I realize now...
    you were the water.

  • To Risk
    William Arthur Ward
    "To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
    To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
    To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
    To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
    To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
    To love is to risk not being loved in return,
    To live is to risk dying,
    To hope is to risk despair,
    To try is to risk failure.
    But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
    The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
    He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
    But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.
    Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
    Only a person who risks is free.
    The pessimist complains about the wind;
    The optimist expects it to change;
    And the realist adjusts the sails."

  • believe a snowflake to be
    or not to be
    as winters will might dictate
    on an October day.
    believe a lovers kiss to be
    or not to be
    as unrequited love might be
    on any other day.
    believe a prince to be
    or not to be
    with bodkin his quietus make
    on odd forgotten day.
    forge to believe
    or not to believe
    as winters love may end
    pretend
    that snow and kiss and restful bliss
    are simply not the end.

  • "the time has come" the walrus said
    the saying ringing in my head;
    he talks of other things
    of ships and shoes and sealing wax
    and how his words still ring.

    "The time has come," the walrus says
    he smiles as he speaks
    and as his utternace rhymes its way
    my mind begins to rock and sway
    like the sea that's boiling hot
    like the ship that leaks...

    He speaks in riddles, tongues and taunts
    he's baffling, a modern daunt
    but despite his words, despite my ears
    ignoring those inclined to tears
    disregard the madness in the brain
    it's plain, its simple, and inane
    the Walrus knows the secrets of
    the Looking Glass, the World and Love
    for what enemy could ever hold one close
    than one who knows the deadly dose
    of violent poison, of concoction crazed
    but a lunatic who spends his days
    wandering the seashore around midnight
    half in dark, half daylight
    shouting to the pigs with wings
    "the time has come! to talk of other things."
