All so often I ask for some guidance
When the right path is so hard to choose...
How long of a time it's been,
I've played the wonderer right on que.
And when I found you
You had only questions to ask me.
So I chose to play along...
Here I thought conformity was Truth
Yet I was lost, and so were you...
A "?" was all it took.
Scores of read books,
Until I found my way back to you.
While the hours spent, the whispers grew.
Until the whispers turned to stone
Straight is the gate to nowhere
As fear is to being alone
...
It was then I saw my humanity
No longer in the now.
I traveled to the other side and back,
Of the world I thought I knew so well
Only to find, when I got back
My humanity would attempt to sell
...
It wasn't your eyes I saw in my Escape
But the eyes of another
Inside your complacent state
And just as that time,
I made the mistake again,
And by selfrighteousness I vanquished
The light in one girls eyes,
That could have been...
...
"Foolishness..."
"Vermin..."
"What a bunch of stupid sheep."
"~Love is a mistake~"
...
A second chance waisted upon sin.
Repentance acts as Executioner
To let me know I can never win...
"I just wanted her to feel special..."
But here we go again.
And who is there that could say
That God is the one to blame,
While another special girl
Let's go to chaos at free reign?
"I am the Hero of my story!"
But It wasn't suppose to be like this!
Now it's not enough to even say
"I'm sorry..."
...
When efforts just aren't good enough...
...
Were your intentions ill founded?
...
...
'You chose the wrong path...
...
But I'll let you have another say...'
...
"But there's something you must be aware of
Don't let logic pass by your way
A great Escape needs restraint
If you ever hope to get away..."
...
Here's to the True Way.
...
Where I found the rainbow between the black and white.
You asked me all the same questions
But this time, I chose not to take a side.
"I don't know."
And "Who could know?"
In clarity of mind
I realized better not to know.
And when the whispers tempted louder,
There was no longer human now
Would you escape my notice,
Beneath the moon over the mountain still
One Rose among a thousand,
But l'll always find my way back to you.
...
Casting all other words aside
I look with such honest eyes in mind
To the greatest sight I've ever seen...
A girl made of so many written pages
with no set script in between...
The most beautiful girl I've ever read
We share our dreams together,
Her wonderment I thee wed.
And just then when I think I'm ready,
To take hold of my greatest Escape,
Here I wake up staring...
Staring at a blank page once again...

From the Wanderer to The Girl,
Any way you toss the DiSe
