That Story Once Told
That story is to hard to tell
A tale to painful
But alas the pages are opened
To a heart so broken and dull
Is it the water from the shower head?
Or millions of tears from my eyes?
A smile full of laughter?
Or one full of lies?
The whispers in the hallway about me
And the face to face confrontations
All the things that make me hide
Every single false relation
Thoughts of things I once feared
Destroy my once happy mind
No more real joy up there
At least none I can find
Then you come around
A new song to sing
A new happiness
A new melody
Only played once
The pain comes again
No more of that joy
Right back to where we began
A mind that is tormented
By words of one's self
By words of the others
No where to seek help
Cries drowned out by busyness
No one concerned
No one listens
If only they knew
Then you come again
With your rhyme and rhythm
And the beat of the drum
Brings back the beat of my heart
The joy restored
The happiness found
You are put on repeat
I'll always hear your sounds
There will always be sorrow
Always in one's heart
But I have you forever and always
To give me a new start
