Ian Petch Poet I do not know?

Still Speaking

Stepped aside whilst candles die
Momentously denying their lives
Stepped inside and handled fire
Desperately dousing lies

To go against the laws of mind
It seemed that I could no longer try
To go against the laws I find
It seems it’s me against all kind

Laughing widows handing kids their guns
If only you could open your eyes
But when you die from closing these wounds
Perhaps you’ll see this side

It’s only real once you can feel
But hiding out denies the wheel
Moving onwards and through this place
I guess spinning round has lost all appeal

You throw me down because you cry
Dig up a grave and then deny
It’s only you but you’re in my
Reason to speak and help you find

You lost your soul and closed your eyes
Stepped away before you died
You never had time to see the world
When you felt you just saw lies
So whilst I try and make you see
Take some time to think this can be
Forget all time and look within
You’ll find the answers to everything
But only if you really want
Otherwise you’ll die for nothing
And I have never said a thing
