Between the Teacher and the Student

The coin snaps off the fingers As gravity works the spin I turn for you, flip and land I see your patience running thin It's heads, not what I want So I choose tails and I choose you Past indecision, I now confront Our mess I must attend to You don't need to explain our love It's really between you and me They may not understand, respect A mother/teacher/ student reality I refused your many lessons From constant pains that bruised fast Most hurt caused by self unhealed wounds brought from the past When your tries bring on a new sting I resist though I want more I only see the pain and so lose The lesson's blessings in store I don't need to explain our love It's really between you and me The may not understand, respect A mother/teacher/student reality I go to you, I run from you What you give I misconstrue Let's prove them wrong with how we do I'll honor what we've been through Letting go of darkness everyday Bowing with the homework you give I choose to learn thru the pain And be the light we all will live ...together...
