The Eye
Winds came with no warning
Vicious sound of voices whipping in circles
I struggle to shelter the needy
And in a flash-I'm gone
I'm in the eye of the hurricane
I see what others have closed their eyes to
I feel the volume of force that life gives us
Endlessly waiting to be thrown out
You hear what you want
But you cannot see the voice
It remains a mystery in your mind.
Chaos is twirling around
Something I had is lost
Lost in someone else's neglect
Scattered endlessly throughout the miles
Distance that will be unreachable to repair
The hardest moment is letting go
Even harder, is the pieces left in ones memories
Remorse catches you when you walk slow
Speed brings a faster ability to be sheltered
Unless you like the loneliness of the eye
