Perpetual Motion

Motion perpetual and tears recycled Keeps me moving towards the future With my head turned One cheek to the past One cheek to the now Stay within a hastened grasp Feeling trapped within your own body There isn't much I can say That will make me want to stay You can't just kiss me and say Goodbye If I said I didn't want more - it was nothing but a lie Containers full of laughter Jars full of remorse Riots in the streets Feeling less and less complete Moving around at the speed of light You can't just kiss me and say Goodnight You are full of definitions I've got clear-as-day premonitions. Thesaurus tells you more ways to burn me Ashes to ashes and dust to dust You better watch out who you trust Seeking vengeance - sitting high with a Jack and Queen When you use big words - do you know what they mean? Carry a briefcase full of poems and prayers Getting smashed down by all these layers Not sure who to believe out of all these soothsayers Failure is not an option at this point Suddenly you seem not afraid Make sure all your debts have been paid Sharp is the mental blade that slices through the haze Believe me when I tell you how sorry I am Imagine it now - a day without rain No make-up on - you like to keep it plain More answers to your questions - you add them up - a positive gain Brick by brick - you built your home People see you now - they comment on how much you've grown Life is better when you're not alone You can't just kiss me and say Goodnight My pen marks down the places I have been and places I will go Writing my poems down and watch how they flow. It heals my wounds and declutters my mind Answers are told - questions are raised Heroes are born and together we try You can't just kiss me and say Goodbye Hold my hand and keep your voice high Watch as people just pass us by Aim for the front - where leaders are found Listen for your heartbeat - that comforting sound You can't just kiss me and say Goodbye
