Description
what am I supposed to doI know what must be done
tell me my love
how am I
supposed to sit here at your side
look at you, talk to you, laugh along with you
and yet be painfully aware
that what you want isn't me
that who you want isn't me
that laughing and playing is enough for you
when I need so much more
what happens now
do I stay your friend and confidant
yes I must it must be done
because being near you is worth the pain
and all the suffering
because the only thing worse
than feeling your touch
and knowing it's only friendship
is the unbearable notion
that I will never bask
in the light of your liquid brown eyes
and never hear the tones
of your musical voice
ever ever again
and so my love I tell you now
I know what must be done
but answer me this
keeper of my heart
how am I to do it

thanks Matt, they are my favorite too. I spent longer on those lines, getting them just right than I did on the rest of the poem.

sweetness. you rock. i might do the vocals on this one. my other band member does the vocals for the other songs, but he said i need to do some too so he isn't like the lead singer figure.

kool, but I thought you liked the other one better? I've chage pronouns on both and e-mail them to you in like an hour or two, I wrote another one that might work if you want me to play with it a little.

I am bored in my history class a lot and that is when I write most of these some in spanish and even a few in geometry, but if you have anything you'd like me to try let me know cuz I'm kinda low on ideas.
