A Day Down Below: The Mentor, The Friend, The Muse

I'll never leave you behind
Your words are scribed in the stone of my mind "one day you'll sit across that table and we'll share tales of the climb."


To see your face today restored me
The past gives me life upon this journey
I know for certain I'm maturing and you had a hand in helping mature me

But I've been feeling oh so lonely
Keeling under the weight of "if only"
I know you're happy here but man I don't know where it is I'm going

Please tell me where it is I'm going...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Is our connection built to last?
Should I reach out to others in kind?
I hate to make you stand and hold this
but I feel time just slipping by

I wish I could lift your burdens
But I I've got such a chip on my shoulder
I know that we're all growing older
It's just a matter of time


I know you and he are closer
You like him better than you and I
I just wish I had a little more faith
I'm not out of sight,  and out of mind

Whatever happened to our ties?

-----------------------------------------------------------

I mustered the courage
to elude to my love
you said you don't remember
The night that set the spark off

I guess it must be true
That I'm reading you wrong
Unless the fear of closeness
Inspired a bluff

But that's all wishful thinking
enough is enough
It's time I moved on
and showed myself some love

But why, oh why, is your mouth always shut?
