Incoherence

by Michael C. Shivar

Why does my mind Feel so inclined To view so many people everyday In so many different ways And why do my eyes Seem glazed hypnotized As I view your smiling face You send my heart into space Then clouds of confusion Block out the sun I see the grey mist come As another one comes along Where is the voice of reason When I am taken by emotion Is she just another lie Another face just passing by God I’m hoping Could I start praying These merit badges weigh me down And she’ just another pretty child Why is this happening again Why are my feelings bursting out of my head God I wish I never knew love I wish I never knew what sex was A blessed union to never take part of Frustrated with my actions Frustrated because unloved Sometimes... It’s hard to believe Someone like you and something like me It’s like a paradox Situation you don’t see everyday Pray to God to help me Pray when I’m okay Pray to God to strike me For another sinful day Pray to God to love me But I don’t know what it’s about Pray to God to forgive me When I leave Him far behind Could you just reach inside me Place your hand on my love I fight and slay myself To keep from boiling over Because each step I take Each day I wake Each thought I make Is haunted by your face And everything I do Can’t distract me from you So I’m on my knees... It seems so hard to believe now Finally looking out of my own window Just wish I could be alone now And not be haunted by a memory of a girl No one in particular She’s stirred up my feelings My heart is sitting heavy and bent With a desire because I know That she’s the one Another the one So I play it different Keep the love that I would have spent And I save it for someone who I barely know
