Michelle Morris Poet Lyric

Magical and Alive

Magical and alive

We've been out of touch 
For so long; 
Do you remember me? 
Or did your life just go on?

You've been in the forefront 
Of my mind 
All this time, 
Even though I was 
Not blind... 

To your distance 
In our bed, 
In our home, 
In your head... 

In your heart, 
In your soul, 
I never expected you 
To be whole... 

Just there - 
As a lover and a friend;
No demands, 
No clinging... 

Just there - 
Present and true 
Feelings... 

But you bailed, 
And I lost, 
The hurt it got to be 
Too much... 

For a time 
I was numb, 
Now I've reconfigured
And moved on... 

No more hate, 
No more tears;
I have conquered all 
My fears... 

But have you? 
On your own? 
You never could stand 
Being alone... 

I am free to be me, 
To be loved, 
To be seen... 

As a magical being;
As an artist of my life, 
As one who lives life right - 
Magical and alive... 

Yeah, we've been out of touch 
For so long, 
You're just a memory in a 
Song... 

I was yours, 
You gave me up, 
I'm better off, 
And you're out of luck... 

I am free to be me, 
To be loved, 
To be seen... 

No more fears, 
No more ties, 
I live my life - 
Magical and alive...
