For Those With Loftier Expectations
Posted by
Paul B. Geisert
It's gotten to where this world expects us to bleed on cue
or maybe I've just gotten a bit more cyncial then you.
Used to be that I could write without all the expectations,
now my heart is picked apart by those with loftier expectations.
But I know this man shall never lay his pen down
as long as your sweet song in him still so strongly sounds.
I'll take the good with the bad come what may,
for I never meant to confuse this therapy with poetry anyways.
So if you've come here looking for some monument of art,
sorry if all I've left you is another piece from this man's heart.
And if your tonque trips on rhymes which only make you sick,
just remember that I never forced you into it.
So label me as selfish when I stay true to all I am,
if my love does run deeper than you can believe or understand.
All I know is that this man has been forever changed by a friend
and his words will call to her until he can no longer lift his pen.
So if you still need an explanation of why I do the things I do,
it's safe to say that this man's heart will always be a mystery to
you.
