True Nature

Standard

The bathtub faucet has been dripping for weeks,

I find peace in the sound that once grated me.

My cat has cried every night since his brother died;

He has now torn the curtains off the back door window

In his pursuit to turn the handle and escape outside.

It is his true nature of course.

My heart aches as well.

I Will Stay

Standard

Oh my friend
All our lives
(Since i can remember)
Your heart has ached
And try as i might
(in this life that we have known)
I cannot carry the weight
For you
(I realize this as we grow old)

Though I tried when we were young

(Helplessly)

I keep

hope.

I am here
(In the silence, through the tears)
And here i will stay
By your side
(Through the years)
