If Only
If Only
Of all my wishes that never came true,
The most painful is that I’ll never be loved by you,
Though when I look in the mirror
I am the splitting image and living proof,
A seed planted by you,
But at this point, what more can I do?
Do I need to beg you?
Maybe cry a little more?
Or wait another 30 years,
Maybe then we can open the door
When I’m old and gray,
When I’m beat down even more.
If I had one wish, I’d be that you were there,
That you weren’t so selfish,
That I didn’t feel such despair,
I wish...
Of all my wishes that never came true,
The most painful is that I’ll never be loved by you,
Though when I look in the mirror
I am the splitting image and living proof,
A seed planted by you,
But at this point, what more can I do?
Do I need to beg you?
Maybe cry a little more?
Or wait another 30 years,
Maybe then we can open the door
When I’m old and gray,
When I’m beat down even more.
If I had one wish, I’d be that you were there,
That you weren’t so selfish,
That I didn’t feel such despair,
I wish...

Bone Weary
I'm feeling bone deep weariness
Which is not to say that I'm tired
Though I am that as well
I simply feel an overwhelming lassitude
That runs to the core of my being
It seems to make simple joy and happiness
Something that takes a lot of energy
Weariness sucks the life out of me
I simply have no idea what that cause is
And the simple act of wondering about it makes me feel
Even more weary
I don't see any end to this feeling
Since I don't understand it
So I just thought I'd tell you all about it
In case you wonder why I...

Star Cross'd
faster than the speed of light
from far beyond to out of sight
I am with you in a blink
I'm with you because we're linked
we have never met yet still
we're together, we fulfill
the emptiness we feel alone
the universe is our shared home -
we've journeyed from a distant star
lifetimes searching near and far
I've found you and you've found me
here now in eternity
on and on around around
listening to me making sounds
resonating in your mind
merging while we still have time -
you're a woman,...
from far beyond to out of sight
I am with you in a blink
I'm with you because we're linked
we have never met yet still
we're together, we fulfill
the emptiness we feel alone
the universe is our shared home -
we've journeyed from a distant star
lifetimes searching near and far
I've found you and you've found me
here now in eternity
on and on around around
listening to me making sounds
resonating in your mind
merging while we still have time -
you're a woman,...

Subject: Lush Stories - New message from Adagio
Please do not reply to this email.
A new message has been sent to you from Adagio.
In shadows of the moonlight
Nell'ombra del chiaro di luna
We danced all night to acolytes
In hours of the belfry rung
As doves of summer cooed
Where apostles now rest
In shadows of the moonlight
Nell'ombra del chiaro di luna
Making love neath an olive tree
In gifted hours of the night
Kissing at daybreak
Baciare all'alba

Maybe you had to die for me to live
Sometimes I worry
that I don’t really miss you as I should.
My daily life was never good
at making space and time for you
(perhaps an unintended legacy
of the independence you encouraged?)
Now that you’re gone from this space and time
the guilt of that failure
has mostly gone with you.
No “when will I see you next?”
or long conversations
at inconvenient times
(oh, how selfish that sounds!)
And though I say I feel grief
what’s often stronger is relief
that I don’t need to filter ...
that I don’t really miss you as I should.
My daily life was never good
at making space and time for you
(perhaps an unintended legacy
of the independence you encouraged?)
Now that you’re gone from this space and time
the guilt of that failure
has mostly gone with you.
No “when will I see you next?”
or long conversations
at inconvenient times
(oh, how selfish that sounds!)
And though I say I feel grief
what’s often stronger is relief
that I don’t need to filter ...
