Out of Reach

No other time exists
So sweet like this, as if it
Could turn my mind from now
Weathered sorrow into this
Learning now to be his

One dream to love
And never seperate
From force I once rebuked
Pitter patters on its way
To telling me the truth

Let love dissolve what I thought I'd be
Draw nearer love
And into me

Could this happen
Could we change enough
To compensate for what we lack, to take each other back?

I believe we
Can come together
Just notice me

I open heart
You limit head
Speech pours through me
Lit path to your heart calls cooly
Like you don't believe
In our possibility
"She can't be me."

Meant For One

(Edited version of original that's truer to its original inspiration)

Your note struck on piano
Made a chord ring in my heart
But the feeling then fell flat:
B-natural played as sharp

Though our very first meeting
Was a double harmony
Soon both our ears were ringing
In song's bitter irony

Perhaps you misunderstood--
I meant no acrimony
My insults signaled true love's
Awkward, desperate testimony

Since both my hands reached out
To beat the single talking drum, I
Made my meter frantic and unsure
And sounded such a lonely bum

So delicate, then, forceful!
And full of misplayed notes
My aria is awful...
Better leave it in my throat
