sadness

I tried to make it back the other day.
you were beautiful but broken.
like we all are.
but you didn't know it.

after awhile you forgot you were living with others.
people who breathed a different air.
and couldn't wait to come home.
we tried so hard but some things may never be.

what if you simply let go?
what if you let the rain wash down your face.
and the mud splash over your shoes.
can't you see that's the only way to be?

the straight world I don't belong in.
racing for the sake of racing.
and how you said I couldn't keep up.
which is true, I guess, unless you see things from where I do.

fruit never eaten, but with good intentions.
and a still sadness over all our hours.
if we just wore different glasses.
or lived in a different time. love on ya.
