Juniper Lane

Sides

Juniper Lane


I'd tear this side down 
To pacify you 
But with just one wall 
The whole house falls through 

So I'll paint the windows 
Make them reflective 
and you'll only peer in 
To your own perspective 

And although it seems useless to say 
I still want to be who you think I am 

I'll hold these instincts 
Inside the thick walls 
Our minds are locked doors 
At the end of long halls 

So can you see it 
The expectations 
Cause disappointment 
And this realization 

That although it seems useless to say 
I still want to be who you think I am 
And if I try hard enough would you believe 
That I could be who you wanted all along 

If I stop fighting will the struggle cease? 

Let us keep both sides: 
The sense and meaning 
The love and logic 
Art and reason
