Confused

Don’t temp me again

I’m leaving right now

Nothing left to pretend

How can I begin?

Walked down the street a little

Flagging for a cab that never stops

I just gotta turn the next corner

Maybe I can wait

To many people around to scream

So happy to be free

So angry with you

How can this be?

Ballads written only because

Hearts’ will which never comes

Passing illusive words in song

Images conjure meaningful stares

You right in the face of mornings

Dawn awakes a shadowed wind

And meaning floods radiance brilliant

Into an eclipsed emotion

So happy to be free

So angry to go

How can you know?

Another oath of rhyme and reason

Penetrates overgrowth in shadowed figure

My mind beholds nothing

Good enough for now

Forget the reasoned rhyme

Free the moment

And shout out loud
