Plaidies

I have wandered through the sunset
only not to get too far
from the girl who haunts my dreams
she'll never know just how much I
beware the friendly stranger
after all these years apart
and if I could stop the bleeding
I would give her my heart
There is a time and place for everything
that all falls into place
and I don't believe in fate
but if I ever do I'll be too late
to drag the broken little pieces
of the life I left behind
and wipe the cobwebs from the memories
that I never bring to mind
If I could only see tomorrow
or the days we have in store
I would give you all my reasons
before you ever had to know
I would happily be lonely, lazy, crazy, out of touch
but to risk it all again
sometimes it just feels like too much
now my words seem weak and weary
as I look upon the page
I've been trying to translate my feelings
from a very early age
and as a result there's bottled anger
plateau's and highs and lows
but there has never been a more weather beaten rose
So do I ask myself these questions
or just go out on a whim
do I dive into the water
believing that I can swim
if my home made life support system
crackles up and fails
will the tide take me away beneath the waves
The risk is mine is her word true
how can it work if i'm in doubt
with poor social skills and paranoia
I just can't work it out
can the girl I knew in a life before
be the woman of my future
and can I be the one to stop her looking further
when all is said and done
i'm young
mistakes are
in our nature
nature teaches us to nurture
but we turn on our creator
look what we've done to our planet
look at what we are doing to ourselves
we have people crying, dying.
people stacking shelves
How can I be so wrapped up
in what will make or break my heart
when I have nothing to base it on to start
I try to widen my blinkers
my perception
my portrait
and all the time I
get more distracted by
the girl that got away
Make no decisions
inhibitions
make my livin'
so existence
free
the company I keep
decides who they think I should be
but I am decisive in my own way
in that I never make a choice
I open up my mouth and out there comes
a voice
A voice that's little heard
but when it's heard
it tends to stick
see my opinions
take the minions
thinking
deep
All I ask for is a shadow
as my angel in the sun
and if your serious
about doing this
you will be the one.

There is a time and place for everything
that all falls into place
... you're right, and that is the one thing i have to keep reminding myself everyday. I've been hearing people say the say two things over and over lately, so i've taken special heed; the first is "everything happens for a reason" and the second is this line of yours that i have just quoted.
i used to not believe in fate either, but more and more its becoming apparent in my life. and i DO believe in destiny... but moreso, i believe we have the power to choose our destinies (kind of ironic, when you think about it).
this is a really great piece. thanks for sharing.

Thanks!
These days I can't decide whether I believe in fate. I contradict myself all the time without even realising it... But one thing thatI do think is that whatever puts us here in the first place follows a path, it's just deciding if you think that that path is set out for you or if you set it out.... Ramble, ramble, ramble!!
