One So Different
Your beautiful words are like a magnetic beam that draws me near to you.
Then, you push me away - - lock me out!
Your silence drops the darkness on me like suffocating cruelty.
Sadness sits on me like a one ton monster
sucking the very life from my lungs.
I don't think you even realize how you can keep this heart of mine beating.
Could it be that I am falling into you or am I diving headlong
into the mystery of you?
Some of what you say has lead me to believe....to hope
that you just might be edging closer to falling too.
You write neverendingly of past heartache and how it has taken your soul.
And you are afraid that you will never find a good heart
who could never trample on yours;
stomp on it, squeezing out the life like sodden grapes in a wine vat.
Give me a chance! I can change the way you believe
and chase away the terror that comes in the night
cloaked in the guise of the phantom of past love.
All you need to do is let me show you, and the wall, no matter how high
will begin to to crumble
tumbling
down.
Oh, sweet, sweet illustrious man who moves my heart and fills so many dreams...
You do not need to hide; you do not need to die.
Listen to your heart and not your tangled mind.
Your sweet and romantic heart, even though it has been broken, knows
I am one of the last of a vanishing breed
and I am not like the other.
