Not Even Close

[1st v:]

Waiting....
Not likely

Wanting....
No need
For a future catastrophe

Holding....
Never standing near enough

Enduring....
The pain has made one
Tough enough

Tears....
Left for those
Who still have the need
To hold someone near

[1st ch:]

No one ever believes
Things can actually happen
Just the way they do

Sometimes
Some hold on to hopes and dreams

Never really realizing
Nothing
Is ever
Quite what it seems

Some keep on waiting
For their hearts desire
To one day....come true

Me....
Not even close

I no longer care
For emotions
That always fade away in to
The icy air
This is what it adds up to

Finally realizing
I've always been seen
But never
Had the emotions redeemed

I need not ever wonder
I'm the only one
Who knows
Where I'm at
And where
I've been

[2nd v:]

Right where its at
Is where I knew
It would all be

Pretty much played
Out
For me
To so stubbornly accept
And finally see

Loving thoughts
Killed off
By the reality of the truth
Of everything

Cold air warms the soul
Bringing understanding
To what I
Needed to know

I finally learn the golden rule
From so many years
Of emotions
So cruel

All part of life's cruel game
Some lose....some win
Some forever
Stand in the rain

But why feel
Or hold on to emotions
That just die in vain

[2nd ch:]

Never really realizing
Nothing is ever
Quite what it seems

Some keep on waiting....
For their hearts desire
To one day....come true

Me....
Not even close

I no longer care
For emotions
That always fade away in to
The icy air
This is what it adds up to

Finally realizing
I've always been seen
But never
Had the emotions redeemed

No need to wonder
I'm the only one
Who knows
Where I'm at
And where
I've been

[close]

What is true....

You want the one
You love and hold true

To know how much they mean to you
A treasure
Deep inside your heart

But reality wakes you up

So you can watch
As they laugh
While they tear you
Completely apart

One more chance?
Not even close

Don't need it
Don't desire it....just fine....how it all is
I still know
What matters most

Shine in all its glory
The truth be known
In the old story

Doesn't matter anymore
I've changed....

Be it either night or day
I can always
Keep anyone
Far
Far away

Inspired by certain events in my life that led to where my emotions are at in this stage of my life....In view it would project as the Tundra
