For A Friend of Mine
Roads Never Traveled
I've buried my heart beneath the highway
Lost between those endless lines
There's tar sticking in this throat
Yellow, white dripping reflections
Falling from my bruising body
And though you've tried to hold me (countless times)
The distance between us
Its going to choke me
The asphalt of these confounded miles
Burns like ice, don't make me smile anymore
Still counting potholes (from my house to your Home)
Still counting sunsets seen without you
Damn these numbers
Damn your eyes!
Not once have they ever looked into mine
Yet, you could witness the storm clouds of my soul
And not one thing would change...
Your heart is breaking into mine
And I think to the open sky, it isn't fair
That you care so much for someone
Who's never been there
