Analysis of I Hear The Words You Cry



I hear the words, in how you write, you cry.
But I, with all my might, can not reach you.
I want to wipe the sorrow from your eye
And pick you up when you are feeling blue.

Recycled words, I hope will be the key.
The feel of solace to my soul you bring.
The treasured person, I see, draws me.
Inspiring the song I long to sing.

But still, to share the joy of us some day,
Regardless of the heat of you, I yearn.
You need, to be the one to light the way
And take a step towards your self to learn.

I wait with Hopeful Breath for you to try
And dry your eyes, with words, the tears you cry.

Kermit Peasley

We cry, not to shed the old self that failed, nor ease the hurt of what said, not meant but, to sing the hearts searing song of pain, for all abandoned broken dreams unkempt. more…
