                                                                ode to a relationship.. that never really was

i found this poem that i wrote in the angst filled August of my senior year. and i thought that i would post it because, while i have gotten up and moved on...

it's a pretty daggone good poem, i think. okay? go.

*********************************

silly little dreamer with stars in your eyes
do you ever worry about what could be?
silly little dreamer, the clouds pass you by
do you see all the bad things the rest of them see?
why must they steal your dreams from you?
why can't they believe them too?
wake up, silly little dreamer.

strong silent thinker with questions in your eyes
what is in your guarded soul?
strong sient thinker, intellegence your guise
only God can make you whole
strong silent thinker, have you joy inside?
do they know what you know?
will you let it show?
sleep well, strong silent thinker

can thinking and dreaming go hand in hand?
almost tried once... but never again?
confused with my feelings, repressed and denied
never admitting the tears that were cried
bombarded with questions i've kept deep inside
what now? asks the sad silly dreamer
