Not There Before
You saved them then
But fell again
The circle’s in the sky
Divided fence
And happenstance
Don’t care if it’s a lie
Tomorrow’s day
Fades into grey
And blue melts into black
As silent sounds
And crushing pounds
Creep in for the attack
An empty stage
And crumpled page
Bleed deep into your brain
Don’t ever sleep
Don’t ever weep
Don’t ever feel the pain
The same old room
Familiar gloom
The same old window’s stare
As tears rain down
Disfigured clown
Why should you even care
But something now
Not there before
Won’t let you go away
A million voices
Fill the air
A million voices pray
…Jeff Bresee
