Things That Are

You are the things that are
Whether you want to or not
I am the things that were
Brittle and broken apart

You are the story evergreen
I am the ink we spent
You are the beautiful melody
I am the words unsaid

You are the burning star
I am the dust around you
I will be watching from afar
As your wishes find you

My Song

I was just skipping along

Mostly happy

I tripped a lot

I thought that's what life is

I was humming this song

That I'd picked up somewhere

You came along

And gave me the words

We skipped along

Mostly happy

Then you went away

And I kept falling

Is this what life is?

I ask the stars and the moon

I've forgotten all the words

I remember the tune
