Without you how could I know
That shared love exists
And never since we are alone
Even when we feel missed
Without me you wouldn’t try
To see the altered you
There wouldn’t be a way to scry
The things you used to do
Without you, without me
This old habitual world
A poorer place for us could be
Although we wouldn’t know.
At shore just shy of ocean floor
Shy by foolish miles and miles more
Splashing in through shallow withouts
Hush hush all these flourishing doubts
Cautious soul breathes rush of air
Push down the rush to hold it there
Shining spirit in primal shouts
Hush hush all these flourishing doubts
Shortcomings bashed and admonished
In waves washing them astonished
No sharing shapes of shaken bouts
Hush hush all my flourishing doubts
It was something like a spark
That set there souls on fire
With each other they new there could be heat
Not to mention an animalistic desire
They were cut from different cloth
Grew up on opposite sides of the street
Time and pain passed through there lives
All ready tied to someone is how they first met
Not ten sentences in the beginning
He was having trouble trying not to stare
Withouts batting an eye she paid him no mind
Barely acknowledging he was there
Clocks and calendars kept moving
As did they
Both on the other side of their struggles
To His chance what was he to say
They text back and forth
He flirted she while sat and sighed
Then nothing
So more time went by
Then they started talking
About life's beginning, middle and end
Neither looking for love
Still they both could use a friend
Then there was butterflies
They forgot these feelings even exist
So they both threw caution in the wind
Embracing each and some of the things they missed
Both so torn apart
Maybe they could mend together
In a storm of emotions, they were lightening
Simply lace still needing leather
You Say (You'll Love Tomorrow)
Were here to today
And yesterday's gone
The us in between is an always
Like a season, a second
(A song)
All alone, we will
Struggle with silence
With a sweetness
Without any smiles
The miles say
Whey're for today
With a mystery
(But just for a while)
You say You'll Love Me
I'm sorry, the lessons
Are without any plans
My hands have me
Here for a moment
Without an "withouts"
(Or "ands)
So love tomorrow
Is silly
Like freckles on
Somebodys face
The pace is just
Walk with empty
And leave me
No reasons
(To trace)
Woman woman woman
With your hearts breaking
Tongues wagging
Souls destroying
Adversity
Atrocity
Rampaging sadness
Standing up
Taking names
Surviving it all
Thriving above it all
The ongoing doubt
The - “I can do withouts”
Screaming out - I want to do more!
Confusion
dissolution
Substitution
Love for hate
Forgiveness for acceptance
Weakness for strength
Pain for healing
For we are
Woman woman woman!
(Say it with confidence!)
WOMAN.
Within our own fear
We are one
We are more.
