So It Comes To This My Friend

Christian Beckman

So it comes to this my friend
At a crossing in the road without end
I can see your emotions as clear as the day
Your rebellious heart in impassioned forbearance
So I encroach upon your world
To find you in commonplace discontent
With your heartstrings
Playing over your box of emptiness
As vehement as the tempest
Why do you not let me see into your heart?
Why do you choose instead to cry into your box of rain?
