Priorities

I want to take care of her
Give her everything shes dreamed
Even though it seems every nightmare she could have
Is pouring from the seams
Like the raindrops I am hearing pour on my roof top
Sliding through the branches of my trees
Bouncing off leaves to pound against concrete
Never making a dent, its slick and damp
But seemingly liquid resistant
Like its tolerance I can see hers and mine
Steadily lowering
Crashing and falling ever eroding
No security or truth
Just a bunch of lying and folding
She said shed never leave
So as I picture her departure
I just dream of her holding me

Giving me everything that I ever dreamed
Even though we know every nightmare Ive ever had
Is pouring from the seams
The raindrops never stopping
They represent my tears
Dislodged from their ducts by the screwdriver
Of my fears after years and years of emotionally technical training
Straining to do right all the while yearning.
But never learning or teaching even through the yelling and preaching

And now
The tables are turned flip side of the coin
No change ever really comes
Just the bastard on the other side,
It becomes his chance for fun
With the game continuing on and on
With no knowledge really gained or lost
Dreams into nightmares
Sometimes coming true too high of a cost?
I wanna floss and dream big
Being known as that kid that made it instead of her circumstances
That triumphed and took advantage of every one of her chances

That danced on the moon and made love to the stars
I want my words to be read to take you far
But I fear that these tears developed out of these nightmare dreams
Pouring like the raindrops through these endless seams
Pounding on the concrete thats never dented or affected
Will never make it pass the drain thats hell sent to collect it
And even as I deflect it all and do what I must do
I know I cant give her all shes dreamed
Or be her vehicle to live through
But every now and then I make her smile
And try to be her strength when she is weak
And there are no other priorities
Because shed do the same for me
