The Forces I Keep At Bay

I’m not going making an enemy out of you
Not even if the whole world wants me to
And you’ve got the force of the women’s cause
And I’m on a stereo hitting pause
Because I can’t cope with what I see
That you had her as well as me
And I know it’s lame and it’s a whole joke
And I can’t get by on what I wrote
But I see you sometimes in the air
And feel the space where you’re not there
And everything’s like an answered prayer
And you’re the angel by which I’d swear
But the mountains roll down to the sea
And I am nothing if not free
Of everything you got to be
I don’t know if you were looking for eternity
But it was forever on the grass
Just the kind that doesn’t last
And you were the rain that lashed
And all the diagrams that smashed
But somehow you made a different choice
And I decided to hide my voice
In the realms of empty pages
I’ve written odes to the ages
Up against an empty wall
And I was running down the hall
Just to catch the trail of you
Til I realized you don’t want me to
So I just stop and stand still
Feel the force of all that will
Strive to keep heaven away
But it’s one shore I can’t hold at bay
And the march of time just goes on
Will there be a day when we’re both gone
Or does something just endure
I call it the wave of pure
Consciousness that just abides
There are oceans that survive
The still and empty way you move
And if love is just a point we prove
Then there’s nothing left to lose
I don’t have a choice but it’s you I choose
