The Logical Piece

The Logical Piece

i should have spoken to you
but after Friday night’s dream
what could i do
it frightened me to death
i woke, struggling for my breath
and when you called, Saturday afternoon
it seemed like well played irony
i was reminded only of one fact
all that you mean to me
even after these four strange years
which have seen us both grow
but no so much apart
the only person to appear in this farce
and take a permanent part
leaving you out of my life
is like leaving out the logical pice
it is like to trying to walk
when i have just cut off my feet
why did i keep my mouth shut
i have learned to speak
i could have spoken four years ago
then i would not be here now
i will probably never know
but at least you are still in my life
and luckily, what you have
to me, is always wanted and unique
in amongst sanity, the logical piece
