AND THEN I REALIZED

IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU
AND HER..

IT'S ABOUT ME

THIS ANGUISH
THIS WORRY
EVEN THE HAPPINESS -

ALL OF THIS ENERGY 
NEEDS TO BE FOCUSED
ON ME.

BETTERING MYSELF.
EYE NEED TO SEE THE LIGHT.
EYE NEED YOU TO SEE THE LIGHT.

CHARCOAL FILTERS, 0800H

in the back of my mind

i can't help but think..

what if you

use these exact words
on her

would it mean as much?

coming from the tips of your fingers

and having them read 

thru the unseeing eyes

of a girl who only believes that she has seen love?

i have seen love.
i have seen what love can do to a sane soul.
i have felt love's gentle caress
and her sharp edge
i know that love, 
she knows no bounds

and yet it still comes to say
that if in the back of my mind
i can't help but think..

i don't love you
and
i don't trust her

I JUST WANT MY HEART AND MY HEAD TO BE AT PEACE. WITH EACH OTHER. TOGETHER. WHOLLY.
