and if the world was square I would have already been at your doorstep
crazy as that may sound
perception is the key,
to understanding circumstance as truth comes from within …

we dance around the mistletoe and run when lightning strikes
once in a lifetime or was that only once
if we bare our souls and relent not,
previous damaged goods fall between the cracks
and leave that stain of someone's past
though they haven't walked by our side
we pull them forward, ghosts and all
it's a circus now and far too crowded,
is all I feel and don't want to know
the how or why

I will tumble down when this flesh falls free
and soar to heights unknown or only vaguely seen
in a mystery of dreams
that may never come to be ...

if I could have had you
might we have feasted at that banquet by now?
and yet, I stand on the other side as always, looking in
this glass is sharp and razor dull
my heart stopped years ago,
tho' true love never dies …
