Spoken word has lost it's way again

Wondering through silenced apology

An untamed mouth has not held words not meant

And condescending eyes made shame to see



The stress to succeed has broken trust

My flooding waters wash you out to sea

You're drowning now as my forgiveness rusts

To stiff to rescue what's dear to me



Could I be sorry

Enough to make you not be sorry?

For goodness sakes I'm sure you're sorry

You met up with likes of one who can't be sorry for his . . .



Imperfection driving battery

The lingering spirit begins to fold

Spoiled angst rots the adult in me

As childish antics now are growing old



Now an emptied room to play to

(No one to hear this song)

No more innocence left to be hurt

Now the silence that I wait through

(Speaking oh so loud)

Of this fitting end that I deserve



Could I be sorry

Enough to make you not be sorry?

For goodness sakes I'm sure you're sorry

You met up with likes of one who can't be sorry for his . . .



Another way fought and anger fed again

Another day lost, we've found more hate to send

Some other past time we found some way

To see the other's flaws as small and still forgive other's mistakes

We had no time to let unity ever binding lose control

Or let some standard conditioning our likeness take it's toll

When the differences settle and when the spite comes to an end

We'll be reminded of a time when you and i used to be friends

(Always change in me)

Another way fought and anger fed again

Another day lost, we've got more hate to send

Some other past time we found some way

To see the other's flaws as small and still forgive other's mistakes

We had no time
