Every Day

Slow is the sun knowing that I am already awake... Unwilling are these eyes to search that which has already been seen Now, time waits upon my hands to make something unknown Does anyone know how long it's been? All my life has turn a shame Years are passing without a gain... Moments becomes hours for me, when I see the others smile in minutes Old is my mouth; for not having strength for such movements Now, time waits upon my hands to make something unknown Does anyone know how long it's been? All my life has turn a shame Years are passing without a gain... This mind, beats so much more than this heart Unwilling are these eyes to search that which has already been seen Easy is the wind to those that welcome its flirty touch Soft are the sounds of the leafs being crushed Dazing is the street light, when watched throughout the night Animals pass and smell my sent; small acquaintances if you might Yonder noises: added ingredients, to help imagination take a flight Watching children play Eying women walk Dim; the lights will say Nothing seems to stop Everyone's alive Sadly, so am I Death's a friend to each one of us All of us will cry Yelling out: Come friend, tears will not shed mine This mind, beats so much more than this heart How heavy is the rain on a wet coat longed? Undisturbed is the playing of my high school song Rusty is my skin, but I not worry for it to be touched Sounds of other voices keep me hushed Dealing with myself so long Aging is my only grown Yield please earth, been so still, I feel you spin Friday games I never win Reaching out to grab myself Inside me, there is no help Does anyone know how long it's been? All my life has turn a shame Years are passing without a gain... Slow is the sun knowing that I am already awake Awake to feel the air up above me Tumbling down in quakes Until I cry: NO MORE SHALL I TAKE Riding upon hopelessness Dying upon wait Alone with my heart inside Yearning for her to stay...
