SANDY'S GARDENS
I'll keep coming back
for you gave me something I crave
and I keep my promises
though not always well
I'll keep coming back
to give the only gift I have
these flowers from my garden
these stories I can tell
looking back
back when I was younger
back when life was easy
and everything was a song that could be sung
I had the knack
back when you would follow
back when I was waiting
for the call from the phone that never rung
and the dreams I put in rhymes
words you did not read
were they some sort of crimes
they just expressed a need
for sharing more than life itself
and the blood that we bleed
reason to remember
May and December
and the sharing of the seed
that never happened
I believed
you didn't want it
so much I gave was
unreceived
and I don't know why
you seemed to want me so much
when there were places in me
you seemed afraid to touch
and I don't know why
I wouldn't compromise
when I saw so much compassion
in your eyes
looking back
back when we were together
were we really together
maybe that question was why we parted
was I just a snack
back when you would follow
I would look around
and find myself broken hearted
when you weren't there
and you got mad when I asked why not
maybe you had other dreams to follow
answers were the one thing I never got
and the dreams I put in rhymes
words you did not read
were they some sort of crimes
they just expressed a need
for sharing more you would share
and the wounds we'd bleed
desires unfilfilled oh why
dreams neglected tend to die
and the abandoned seed
that begged for nurture
I believed
you didn't want it
so much I gave was
unreceived
and maybe you felt the same
maybe it was the same for you
maybe some people can not fulfill each other
maybe we were meant to be sister and brother
looking back, can we go back
to find love was true
to find the friend
we though we knew
to believe
to receive
all we can do
and I don't know why
you seemed to want me so much
when there were places in me
you seemed afraid to touch
and I don't know why
I wouldn't compromise
when I saw so much compassion
in your eyes
