WORD CHARADES

WORD CHARADES
1996?

I was looking for that peace of mind
Like when you find what’s left behind
But what you want so soon becomes
The lost word that just tips your tongue
That is why having isn’t needing
That is why their names are not the same
Our needs are why what we have is what were flaunting
So others cannot give our needs a name
That’s the diversion with which we shape our fame

I was looking for the eyes that gathered
Instead of shattering what they find
But what you see so soon becomes
The lover that has slipped your mind
Remembering is not seeing
And what you say ain’t always what you do
Words are not what happened
They are used to make the past we want come true

Words and the charades that they pursue
