Sad Eyes ~ Bruce Springsteen
I have this feeling lately…….something familiar….
Like someone dropped me off a thousand feet high diving board….
And I am free-falling…..
My life is fast forwarding in front of me in matters of seconds….
Too dramatic eh?
“Every day here, you come walking
I hold my tongue, I don’t do much talking
You say you’re happy and you’re doin’ fine
Well, go ahead, baby, I got plenty of time”
It is all these convoluted thoughts in my head…
Like being trapped in a box….
“Baby, don’t you know I don’t care?
Don’t you know that I’ve been there?”
I hide behind a corroded reflection…..
It is so easy to pretend…..
“Well, if something in the air feels a little unkind
Don’t worry, darling, it’ll slip your mind”
Please tell me it is a phase……it will fade away…..
I don’t want to cushion the blow…..
I will take the hit…….
“I know you think you’d never be mine
Well, that’s okay, baby, I don’t mind”
I hang on to the bare threads of reason…..baseless facts diluting my reasoning…..
Oh have mercy on me…….and spare the broken words…..
“That shy smile’s sweet–that’s a fact
Go ahead; I don’t mind the act”
What if?- is a privilege I cannot allow myself to indulge in…..
“Well, one more step and it’ll be too late”
The stakes are high……
“Like you’re so sure I’ll be standing here”
Stop………Wait…..Am I the choices I make?
