Nonsense

How many times have I seen

The two before the one

Just trying to be seen

As a walk turns to a run

How many times have I found knots

Just trying to contain

All that I wish I’d forgot

As a life turns too insane

I can’t help but shed a tear

For the music I won’t hear

How many times have I heard you say

The way you really feel

Just trying to prevent dismay

As dreams collide with what’s real

How many times have I shot glances

At that flowing friend of mine

Trying to calculate my chances

Of being able to opine

I can’t help but shed a tear

For what you will not hear

How many times have I seen you go

Through the process of selection

Forget the ones you know

Only to find the wrong connection

How many times have I been here

Trying to write what can’t be said

Wishing you could only hear

The nonsense in my head

I can’t help but shed a tear

For the words you cannot hear

I can’t help but disappear

In a search for the sincere
