THE ROOF OF THE WORLD

By -


So I started off this high ground, keeping my pace and enjoying the gaze, while I kept myself to myself
I kept on at it, saying hi and hello to everyone I saw but stopping for no one to ask where it was I was going
Wasn’t so sure myself where it was I was going but I did keep myself company and for a while it sure was fun
I wouldn’t say I was alone all the way when I had my companion once with me, wouldn’t say I don’t miss her now
Part of me wanted to stand out and make a change, see the world from a better view so I might fix the world as it was
I climbed up this mountain not knowing that I had, taken no protection or kit or guard tool or ropes, I just went as I was
I heard whispers saying I was bold and strong and I was a model of courage and determination
But here I am, here I am… sitting on the roof of the world, not knowing how I got here or how to leave
If I could I would jump down but I’m at a point where I see nothing but clouds and white waters
I never did know how to swim and I’m not too sure humans now fly
Who would have guessed that just walking on upwards meant walking alone and staying alone?
People say there’s no fun being back there and being a part of the crowd, but being different and unique hasn’t left me any happier
Many would say I was lucky to get here as not many could and I shouldn’t wish to be back there where everyone else is
Sadly now, that’s the point, I don’t want to be different, and I just want to fit in
Problem remains that I don’t know how to get back there anymore, been different for so long I know nothing else
So here I am, here I am, sitting on the roof of the world and not knowing how I got here or how to leave

We fight, we push, we pursue and we run away. No one intends to stay and none of us want to leave. Yet we tell each other we are done with, no more cares, goodbye and good ridden but those are words we do not mean We can't wait to see the other person come back running. We await who would say I'm sorry first, we await who will say I miss you more and come back crying. The love we said was dead still speaks to us, the journey we said had ended just opened up a new door to us. We have found for ourselves a new way to keep the fire burning and so we fight some more, its the new kind of romance, so we keep on fighting I say I hate you and you say you never cared, I say fuck you and you say go fuck yourself and in that moment all we can picture is fitting those words into place. We make promises but fail to say the final words, I step forward and you step back, you march forward and I run away. We keep playing this game of police and thief, today I'm the thief and tomorr...

TRYING TO TALK

TRYING TO TALK   Why must I always have something to say? What if I was dumb and lacked the ability to speak? Why do you always expect me to express my feelings in words? Why do you think that that’s the only way to prove how I truly feel? Is this what you mean by saying our relationship is complicated? Tell me you don’t already know how I really feel Do I have to recite a poem and sing you a song to show you? Do I have to get killed twice to prove to you? You want me to always compliment how you look because Steve does it too What If was blind and could only compliment how I felt you were to me? Oh, I’m not blind but I always tell you what I know about you I know you are amazing and the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen I know the touch of your hair drives all my senses Everest high I know that every time I look into your bright brown eyes my heart skips a beat I know every time I think about you...
