'Sometimes
I Wonder'

sometimes I wonder
if people see more
than I want them to see
sometimes I wonder
if they see me at all

sometimes I wonder
of what goes unsaid
questions unasked
and signals unread

sometimes I wonder
if they can hear what I'm thinking
and feel what I'm feeling
the secrets and lies
and the many disguises

Kindred spirits
kith and kin
do you know
of my many sins

Haunting specters
of present and past
nothing of this
pain will last

sometimes I wonder
if my love is enough
to bring a light to the darkest places
to bring a smile to the saddest faces

sometimes I wonder
if it's ever enough
to live, to love
to lose, to learn

sometimes I wonder
of what is to become
of all of the things
that remain undone

sometimes I wonder
if they know how I feel
of the things that can not be spoken
promises that should not be broken

Kindred spirits
kith and kin
why does it feel
that we can never win

Haunting specters
of present and past
nothing of this
life will last
