the piece

july.19.2004

I tried to show the human side,
and bring her up to me.
I tried to love without remorse,
I died to make her see.

The walls I've built to keep her out,
are falling to the ground.
The bomb is set and soon we'll see,
how long she'll be around.

I tried to hide this other side,
there's way too much at stake.
I hold her close but slip away,
I feel this start to break.

I don't know why it haunts me so,
but hope I find in fears.
Maybe she will be the piece,
I've sought for all these years.
