In the deluge of remembrances I stand, trying to forget The hurt and pain you caused Through unintended neglect. Yes, you did great things --- Broke boundaries and bound hearts --- But you also made mistakes That struck like poisoned darts. Some old wounds persist today --- Sceptic, never to mend --- Nonetheless, I believe there's still hope for this nation Just around the bend. If we can look beyond our differences Beyond all the strife and hate; We can still head for a better tomorrow Today --- it's not too late.

You talk like you know me; Like you've every right to say How I should live my life— Like yours is the only way. You say I'm no fun to talk to; That I don't listen—is that even true? Cuz from my experience The one not listening, is you. You say it's just the way you talk— That you actually care; That it's my mistake to think That you're putting on prideful airs. But you see, I've seen you do otherwise— You can empathize when you want; You can speak kindly, with love in your eyes— So don't tell me that you can't. You paint my image with your words— Guess my heart from your mind's eye— But in truth

Songbird Would you sing me a song? A song of your love And how it can still reach me Though you're far above Out of my reach Out of my sight Yet still warming hearts As your soul takes flight I wish I could see you And hear your voice again Soaring well above the crowd Bringing healing to pain

I don't know why I miss you so; Why the feelings are so intense. Nor why it feels like continental distances When you're really, just over the fence. It feels like you've left me behind Halfway around the world With a troubled heart And a mind - lost, in turbulent swirls. I fear never understanding your pain - Or worse; that you would think the same And cast me aside like a wilted flower Forgotten, on old window pane. I cannot profess to know your feelings, Nor whether your heart still has room for me - Regardless, every second spent apart from you Is another second wrung in deep agony. It seems as if we've swapped places; You, no longer
