My Ode to Grad School

Stuck in the land of in between,

I stare out the glass at everyone’s dreams,

Their muffled laughter rings throughout the land,

As I sit and ponder who I am,

A crystal lattice gleams in the distance,

A web of creation I continue to weave,

Sometimes I think it's a Sisyphean task,

As I count down the hours until I get to leave,

Time wilts in the humidity,

Fate wobbles with remorse,

But I must not give into doubt,

For only I can chart my course.

I fondle at my emotions,
Trying to pluck a song from a dead string,
The same old tune sings back,
But about him I’ve already written everything,

What I need is a new adventure,
A journey of human emotion,
Not with a someone, but a someplace,
I need somewhere to pour this devotion.

I'd do anything to save you
Cross the desert, Swim the sea
Anything to keep you here with me

Heartbeats, heartbeats
Count that precious tone
Just like King Arthur I'm here
To pull the sword from your stone

How can the world be so cruel
To present something so unattainable
To send me beautiful, perfect, untouchable you?

Yes, you love me, this I can see
But you'll never feel it
Quite the same as me

So smile my darling
I'm here to find a cure
For you it's attainable,
For me, I'm not quite sure.

Heartbeats

Do I show you, Do I show you,
Do I know you, Do I know you,
Show and tell, then run and hide,
Tell me yours and I’ll tell you mine.

Heartbeats, heartbeats,
They match the pounding in my head
Heartbeats, heartbeats,
I welcome the words left unsaid.

Cicadas are chirping,
Time is running low,
I’m dying to open up to you,
But I’m afraid you’ll know.

Enjoy this moment,
Soon this will pass,
Leaving me with a cherished a memory,
I’ll add it to my collection of the past.
