You Never Told Me - March 31, 2011

You Never Told Me

You said you could climb the peaks of life to awaken pain

Even as flashes of madness called you their own

Understandably, I still loved your careless flaming heart

With a watchful face which recalls taking hold

Of your broken chains

You told me the sky hurled heroes upon your summons

Though I know, you still claimed visions shared

So I came and went until you were pleased to let me

Sing the tune of the tongues of angels

To your warrior heart

Beyond the start of centuries stroking cloudy shores

Better than a silent idea you let be sought

Lies the voice of courage clinging to those ideals

You sustained when you named fear

As no such thing

But you never told me that sometimes it rains on love

Or how often you hide when it comes a flood

So when the quiet came I thought you didn't care

I decided to climb the peaks of life myself

To sing pain back to sleep
