PONDERINGS
(T. Beechey)
Nobody knows this loneliness, they couldn't guess how far it goes
But those that do know nothing can ever bring it to a close
And there's nowhere I can turn, but I've learned it all too late
That's why I wait in no place at all until this wall decides my fate
Everything I ever did I hid from everyone but you
And, through it all, I realized I was disguised to even me, too
Everyone tried to tell, but I was well in over my head
And, instead, I chose to ignore the warnings everybody said
Anywhere I've ever been, either within or without
I doubted whether anyone knew what we've been through or about
Anytime that I ever looked, I took anything as a sign
That we'd be fine in any place and your face would show in mine
Sometimes I crawl back in my mind to find someone I couldn't be
Sometimes I see something new in some place you and I were free
Sometimes I find something old that told of something long ago
Sometimes it's so somebody feels what is real...then she'll know
