Perpetual Motion

Motion perpetual and tears recycled

Keeps me moving towards the future

With my head turned

One cheek to the past

One cheek to the now

Stay within a hastened grasp

Feeling trapped within your own body

There isn't much I can say

That will make me want to stay

You can't just kiss me and say Goodbye

If I said I didn't want more - it was nothing but a lie

Containers full of laughter

Jars full of remorse

Riots in the streets

Feeling less and less complete

Moving around at the speed of light

You can't just kiss me and say Goodnight

You are full of definitions

I've got clear-as-day premonitions.

Thesaurus tells you more ways to burn me

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

You better watch out who you trust

Seeking vengeance - sitting high with a Jack and Queen

When you use big words - do you know what they mean?

Carry a briefcase full of poems and prayers

Getting smashed down by all these layers

Not sure who to believe out of all these soothsayers

Failure is not an option at this point

Suddenly you seem not afraid

Make sure all your debts have been paid

Sharp is the mental blade that slices through the haze

Believe me when I tell you how sorry I am

Imagine it now - a day without rain

No make-up on - you like to keep it plain

More answers to your questions - you add them up - a positive gain

Brick by brick - you built your home

People see you now - they comment on how much you've grown

Life is better when you're not alone

You can't just kiss me and say Goodnight

My pen marks down the places I have been and places I will go

Writing my poems down and watch how they flow.

It heals my wounds and declutters my mind

Answers are told - questions are raised

Heroes are born and together we try

You can't just kiss me and say Goodbye

Hold my hand and keep your voice high

Watch as people just pass us by

Aim for the front - where leaders are found

Listen for your heartbeat - that comforting sound

You can't just kiss me and say Goodbye
