Lookin West
it wasn’t enough for you
though you wrote it could be true
it just wasn’t a good fit
you made me see it too
it doesn’t stop the feeling
the hole that has been blown
the crevice I fell into
once it became known
when you look into the mirror
what reflection do you see
are you standing there alone
or seeing an image of me
the sun was in your eyes
a complacent smile on your face
you didn’t see the shadow fall
as I moved on with grace
as you’re running onward
still looking for the best
your feet are planted eastward
but your eyes are lookin west
when you count your blessings
for the things that make you glad
one blessing will be missing
does this make you sad?
