Burial

Play it slow man..

So much you will never see
Disappearing acts
Are my specialty
Learned 2 run away from pain
And toss into the trash
Memories that remain

Fun house mirror
Reflects my smile
Always fools friends
Who don't stay 4 a while
Hush my frantic heart
When it begins 2 pound
Grown fond
Of having heartbreak around

Tears don't make a sound
When they fall
On our love's burial mound

So much you never knew
Words U thought I ignored
Indeed got through
Seen so much
My tear ducts
Are sealed
Never bothered 2 ask 4 an appeal
My final sentence
Always puntuated by a question mark
Crooked as the road I travelled
Relying on a lonely heart

The Lions seem rather bored
Or is it me
Refusing 2 believe
In things I once adored
So many times confidently
I strode 2 the plate
Once up 2 bat
Took too much time 2 deliberate
Strike
One
Two
Three
A disappearing act
Is what I've come 2 be

Come one
Come all
Laugh at Dee the clown
Ignore the echo is his heart
That still resounds

Tears don't make a sound
When they fall
On love's burial mound

..that's it..one take
Let it fade
I'm out
