I never once thought to look for all the answers
and I never once thought to think of anyone but myself
and yet I always thought of questions
16 years
have given me nothing but
a bunch of silly little girl games
and the hand shakes
code words
of all my secret mistakes
and Life I’m still waiting;
I hoping that you don’t end so
fast
they say you have a wish for me
and I have yet to find it
lord, I never questioned you
and yet I have not been faithful
but they ask me
what is it that you have not done
and I say
everything…
and I gasp
for maybe just a bit of air
and maybe all the answers
but I still have questions
we are all just music box dancers....
