Listen, Hear, Speak, Do

how do you tell someone what they don't want to hear. how do you tell them what you don't want to say. how you craft the destructive into constructive. how do you acknowledge their weakness without overshadowing their strength. how do you explain that their weakness is their strength. how can you disappoint in care. how can you softly rebuttal assumptions without losing authenticity. how can you keep friendship alive and bury the natural effects of time. i don't want to dance. i don't want to lie. i don't want to carry on. this is it and that is all, no need to prance around. all else is dilly-dallying and time-wasting and proud. Straight to the point I say and then it'll be done. but oh how do you tell someone that you don't want their love.

this didn't mean to be poetic but it kinda meandered that way towards the end. anyhow.

Like the Rain

Gone are the days of old when talk was cheap but words were gold
And a lover's smile could brighten up the world
Heros and broken dreams fall to the ground, shattering
Before the man who dances with the night

Is it all for nothing? So hopeless it's funny;
Work for something and it's gone like the rain in Mohave
Find the truth and follow; it leads beyond tomorrow
Honey don't fall in vain, be like the rain

Faded are flowers torn from the roots of good and the leaves of love
Not a-one can live so desperate and alone
Drowning in sorrow's seas, the old man's strength and the young man's weakness
All our blood runs cold eventually...

It is all for nothing? So hopeless it's funny;
Work for something and it's gone like the rain in Mohave
Find the truth and follow; it leads beyond tomorrow
Honey don't fall in vain, be like the rain

Happy New Year.
