The Forgotten

I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you It’s so strange how you don’t have a clue Maybe it’s a good thing in the long run You’re the water that shines beneath the sun Change is a challenging chore Don’t you want to know more? You’re begging for it to the core Waiting for my wings to soar, But my torn heart is sore There’s so much to look forward to I don’t really know if all you say is true Tell me no shady lies in my face Bring me back your vast grace I’m the shore above your tidal tribulation I’m the anguish and the happiness sensation Teach me to laugh and sing in joyful bliss I need some more of your happiness… To be rid of this inadequate distress My head is whirling like a windstorm inside Your dread doesn’t help, so I begin to hide I’m sorry I hurt you, but have mercy on me I sent you strength from my own sensibly I guess you’ve forgotten about me I’m the forgotten one, I see…I see… The loneliness is turning the other cheek As you and I, in silence and despair, speak Shadows and sad reflections Show me rage and rejections Speak to me when I’m ready for your company Change is what you should welcome in happily I don’t understand your motives This angst and anxiety in me lives Can’t neglect this heart of gold…heart of old… Can’t shatter this soul of diamond sevenfold How can you forget me so easily? I thought I was unforgotten in your memory! What future is in store for you and I? A peace that will never come, then we’re left to die? There’s a bump in the road And I do need Your abode Hear the echoes of my ode Figure out my code and unload my load God has given me a reason to believe You have given me a reason to grieve Might as well walk out that door and leave Or hang on tight to my sweater sleeve… I’m moving on from your shadows of oblivion No longer are you the water beneath the glow I’m fatigued, can’t peel you away like an onion There’s so many thoughts in mind you don’t know Awkward pauses are like a commotion to the brain Speechless because you’re selfish and pretty insane I hear more than one bird overhead I also hear of your yesterday's dread

Another deep profound rendering, JW. Much to ponder here! Elaine
