"Pivot Point"   2 - 11 - 03



moving forward through the days

counting down through the ways

that i could leave this fray

end all the hurt and dismay

but that won't happen, not today

because i know things will be okay

things have to get better... someday



i saw for myself the other night

i witnessed with my eyes a dreadful sight

it was this image that struck fright

i could only shun the light

i told myself, "things will be alright"

i know that i can end the fight

i know i can make things right... somehow



it was that night that i cried

of all the things that i lied

but never told you, then you died

now i hold all these lies inside

never will the pain subside

a never-ending, swelling tide

why didn't i tell you... why?



i can regret all i've done

live my life hollow, numb

let the body give in, succumb

to a life with no fun, and no one



but this is what i refuse

this life i cannot abuse

i hold it, i must use

all i have, not be a muse

this is what i choose



now you're gone i'm left alone

no one to call on the phone

but now i no longer hear you moan

of the pain your life has grown

but here i am all alone

wishing you were on the phone

now you're gone... so long
