Fallen clouds
Hanging clouds drift above after the battle in the sky
Fallen soldiers through love and war - each one picking sides
Feel the sun's warmth penetrate
Pray for second chances far too late
Falling raindrops through the sky
Tears onced weeped soon turn dry
There's heaven and there's hell - both remain unseen
You live and then you die - there's nothing in between

No greetings, no endings; just the words I just read

You seemed to felt helpless and [?] alone
so distant as I picked up the phone
And I fell asleep to beeping
Also you [?] were not home.
I got a letter from you today...
seems you were feeling better

Unfoldable ... is what your memory has become to me
Traceable ... its so easy to see how things came to be
that we were to become one
[?] through fate and destiny
Unavoidable...

Gives no insight to the depths of the soul

Might show where we're from but not where we're gonna go.

The words on this page
When you forget than I forget
When you remember I turn my head
Away in [?] shame as I gaze up
Candle light flickers - ...
As my eyes tear up

Sitting here and holding you
Learning life's lessons - a new point of view
Yet I'm alone or so it seems
Inside your mind [?] you see
All these unlived dreams

It's not me who you want to be
You wish to run free - like a little kid
I'm a mother - same as the Earth
Whose [?] second greatest joy was giving birth
To a baby boy who'll I'll always put first

You could have been second
Had you given me just a little more time
I impatience again is what wrecked it
And yet just like I expected to find
Sabotage
It was just another case of
Sabotage by design
