honest to gall

Fallen from a grace and oh have I found gall,
Staring from a shotgun's length away.
Warning in a brother's pleading parting words,
Forms in sense and stays.
For if thou mayest must,
I cripple and combust?
I just need to name these two,
Crawling nameless through,
The ether East of eden.
How am I to name the nameless,
Crying in her absence,
Abandoned in the valley now?
Abandoned in the valley,
Abandoned in the valley,
I took shelter in the valley,
Underneath five ash trees.
Leafing through the pages of Steinbeck's magnum opus,
I find your great-grandfather's scrawl.
To think that I was told to hold onto this keepsake,
Makes me miss you most of all.
It makes me miss you most of all.
It makes me miss you most of all.

Can't seem to get the thought of you and me out of my head.
I sit and dwell; you're off with all the other boys instead.
So I wish you, I wish you well.
If I missed you how could you tell?
I'm sick of wishing you to hell.
I'm off, I'm out, I'm on track to gain some perspective,
From what I've known or found; I hope to disconnect for these,
Soppy retrospective,
Cloistered, closed analysis.
I seek poised, calm, collected.
I hope the future's something that I never expected.
So, I am leaving,
Predisposition's misleading.
So, I am leaving,
Predilection is fleeting.
Predilection is fleeting.
Predilection is fleeting.
Predilection is fleeting.

a long overdue apology

I have made mistakes my friend,
The past I wish I could amend.
Respect you've lost for me is just;
Action I took out of fear was unfair and warrants disgust.
I don't wish ill upon you,
I'm sorry if it seemed I wanted to.
In your hands I will alway entrust my life,
Unequivocal silence cuts just like a knife.
We have built up walls before,
And torn them down to reinforce our bridges more.
I hope we can again.
But, I can't expect you to just forgive and forget,
Though I can't wait for this to be laid to rest.
Flaws float to the surface when intentions sink from pressure.
I know we both already know this,
Let's use this knowledge for the better.
I know we both already know this,
Let's use this knowledge for the better.
You say it takes two to tango; I'll tell you trust's a two way street.
