Knowing You Well Left A Hole In My Heart Poem by James McLain

Knowing you well left a hole in my heart
Some how you knew just how that I felt
And feeling the way that you knew that I felt
Will we both know the end when it comes
Word's with real meaning when they are heard
The earth will stop spinning and no one will care
Water and bread is all some are fed
Two million people are in all their jails
Listening I hear more than two voices in my head
Secrets from them at all cost must be kept
Having never met them they know me to well
Being kept in the dark without any light
I sit in the center I sit in one spot and hope to be found
And worry in fear that I will be found out
Knowing that some of my words don't have the same meaning
While meaningless thoughts pass right through my head
I know you mean well I see through his eyes the end of your world
And where I can live none have lived there before
Each day I watch the cloud's that float by hoping to catch
A glimpse of magestic birds that can fly
Bird's without hope Emily has said can't but fall from their nest
Blind is our rage we see nothing but red
Hurting each other wishing us dead other's with
Thoughts, thoughts empty these head's
I've been trying to get in touch with the man
A house that is full yet empty and warm
Woman or man here children are abound and
Love of life is to short to be found
I am not sure just what to think now so like a cloud
I'll fade away how
Pin prick's in the sky is light we see now
With wide open eye's that one day will close
I'm laying in bed unable to sleep wondering if you
Could see what I see a dreams not a dream
Dreaming I dream there just out of reach
Closing my eyes I used up my time I am gone
