THE THOUGHT OF HER FACE
By Alex Gray
Have you ever considered to just let things be? If your eyes were facing, you surely would see.
It just might seem that it’s par for the course, but the change has come back, extracted with force.
For the one that I loved was not quite my plan. The old me inside, I wasn’t a fan.
The feeling of hope, and light, goes too fast. How sad that it ends, thrown into the cast.
If only the hands could go just slightly back, I’d adapt and I’d change, and cut myself slack.
But I learn and may not, if I never placed there. The problems, the strength, like fighting a bear.
It’s all down to choice, a lesson to learn - but how can I suffer a soul-wrenching burn?
Yet after the path I look to the up, just hoping the change gets freed with a luck.
Which deep down I know comes straight from the light. But how much more pain? And how much more fight?
To lose all that counts is desperate and sore. There’s no way I’m willing to do any more.
Injustice for some, with nothing to gain. A new life begins with the smell of a rain.
But how much was lost? And how can we make? And give back to others that was unfair to take.
To love and to lose is no way to feel, but maybe the lesson was needed to heal.
In times so hard and days so black, it’s hard to imagine they’ll ever come back.
Just basics and peace is the bliss that I wish. Something as simple as stealing a kiss.
Humanely, of course, there’s no other way. My mind is alert and clearer than day.
But who would have thought that the dream which is set? No one would bother, that I can bet.
For wrong will be proven by those who such doubt. The day I make peace is the day that I’m out.
From the lessons I cherish, as sick as it sounds. The thought of her face, my heart can’t help pound.
At the beauty and love, which no doubt is real. There’s no better feeling than the way that I feel.
And nothing will break and nothing will chain. No harm, no torture, no terror, no pain.
For love will prevail and I know it’s been long. The time is soon coming, to write our own song.
A story of lessons, of truth and of care. No way I could change now, no way I would dare.
The gift from the greatest for everyone to see. So happy and proud of what’s going to be.
