What You See Is……

There was time that when I saw women, I saw sex

So I spoke sex, and I got sex

There was a time that, when I saw me, I saw misery,

So I spoke and sought misery, and thus I got misery

Misery from waking up and trying to remember this stranger’s name

Misery from feeling the familiar void in life’s games

Misery of trying to stay up late as if I could delay a new day of ……misery

Was a time when I saw women I saw greed,

And for some strange reason, all I could get, was greed

Wasn’t what I wanted, but maybe my misery wanted company.

One day someone saw me, and saw hope

So they spoke hope, and they got hope

They turned me to you, and you said “I am love”

Couldn’t see it at first, but when I could see it, I sought it

I could see it, I could get it

One day I met her, and somehow I saw……your…love….in….her

I could see love, I was scared, but I spoke love

And finally I could get love

Thanks for helping me see you, and get you, in everything I do.

Thanks for helping me to see better, so I could get….better
