They’ve Fallen

Standard

Take a look around and what do you see?
People running around like crazy
Too busy to see

Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People self absorbed
Caught in their crazy lives.
Why can’t they open up
Their eyes
And see?

Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People keeping their eyes
On the prize
Instead of what’s inside
Never taking the time
To see

Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People gathering so much stuff
And there never seems to be enough.
Their hands too full
To reach out and help

Someone that’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People’s souls cold as ice

Always trying to grab a slice
Of what’s in other people’s possession
So they fail to
Understand

How someone could have fallen.
And they are falling,
They find themselves falling.
And then they look around and see
Nobody cares

That they, themselves, have  fallen.

Hey You

Standard

Hey.

Hey you
I see you standing there
All alone
Just like me.
I want to say
I get you!
Hey,
Hey you
Thinking you are
The only one
Standing alone.
Look at me
I want to say
Do you get me?
Because we are not so
Strange.
We’re not so alone.
We are
The same
In so many ways.
When you want to scream
Don’t you see?
So do I!
When you want to scream
Look at me!
So do I!
Because I feel it too
What you’re going through.
I feel it too
Me and you.
Hey
Hey you
Standing there
Looking so scared.
I feel it too
I get you.
Hey
Hey you
Looking at me.
I know you see
I feel it too
I get you.

Still

Standard

If I were to lay down,
Lay down all of me

Allow you to see.

Would you be still?

Would you breathe?
Soak in the silence
Without stirring?
Could we love
Seeing the entirety of me
Feeling the completeness of us?
Could we settle in
The serenity
And share
The whole of you
With

Everything of me?
Allow me to see
Let me feel
The whole of you
In the stillness.

Run Away

Standard

I let you see me.
I’ve let you in too
Close.
I……

Will run.

I
Must
Rush away
As fast as I can
And
Hide.
Turn my face
Away
And
Withhold the broken bits.
I just can’t do it.
I can’t let you
See
The inside,
Wasted
Pieces
Of me.
I will shove you away
With these two hands of mine.
I will shove you away
And a piece of me will die.
Inside.
I love you.
I love you,
You see
But you are not
Allowed,
In turn
To love me.
I’ll run away
And try to forget
That you ever touched me
That our souls ever met.
