Undisturbed
I push past the reasons and expectations
no comparisons or judging, unexpected gyrations
you do your best with all that is offered
while I pack my bags and head for the border
call or don't, write it all out or not
don't fill me with songs that you once forgot
sing from your heart or don't sing at all
dance with me once or fill my dance card
hike up the mountains for a grander view
once you get there, there is nothing that's new
drink from your bottle but it won't quench the thirst
the knowledge is power that bruises and hurts
you thought that you loved and all was so easy
but it leaves you numb and feeling queasy
the one that you want boards a plane for the coast
and there goes your heart with a lot of your ghosts
the one by your side that hangs on your word
is silently sleeping and lays undisturbed
your mind wanders to things left unsaid
laying in piles like leafs that are dead
