Words Written on Water

Was it written on water as some sort of joke for us both not to ever conceive?

Does every time i see you make my heart to believe?

walk with me alittle while, i know that it's cold

but the fate of our universe could depend on what's told

When we know that for many reasons you and i were matched

but to also know that it breeds for our demise, a duality-pleasing attack

Time would suggest that we know the best and worst of each other

That my sword is just as sharp as your knife

The front doors of your eyes are the backdoors to mine

But neither merit much in our far too busy lives.

I want you, and sometimes i think i might even need

but i'll admit that i hate when i'm walking that tight rope

with heaven and hell am i BETWEEN

you keep me there when you sweetly care

Why can't we know what we're thinking?

Why can't we know what each other is thinking?

Instead i see the ripples make waves of our words

words written on water

grammatically beautiful verbs.

But a tight rope is a tight rope..

no matter how beautifully dressed.

We are a finely taught lesson

a mysterious blessing

who's mystery remains our guess.
