A friend referred me to a band called dredg, this poem was on their website.. i cant listen to their music for some reason, which really sucks, but ill prob go buy the cd tomorrow anyway.. anyone heard of them? what are they like?


what i see
One day I just woke up, my love?
How now, How could it be?
To find myself in safest haven
Where you lie so close to me
The time might pass like whispers
Years you've shown your love to me
And when you look into the mirror
Do you see what I see?
With one swift stroke of beauty
From God's holy hand of grace
Like the stars that light the heavens
So he boldly lit your face
With eyes like sea-blue candles
And a smile to stop a war
But can you see what I see?
Have you noticed it before?
With stature like an angel
My cup is overfilled
In a gushing fountain of understanding
My fear of failing, killed
Can you see how strong you've become?
And how much you've made one man?
A man who'd walk through fire for you
To show his honor, can
For all the things we've been through
For words I never say
Just know I love you more right now
Than I did just yesterday
As we walk this world together
Bound by love, and finally free
Intertwined, our eyes wide open
Can you now see what I see?
You've given me a gift, my love
Only shadowed by God's grace
The gift of dedication
Manifested in embrace
Being only half of something
More than being wholly me
A kindred soul of hope and promise
Changing you and I, to we
Fifty years from now, my love
Will you still lift my chin?
Will you mend my dire consequence?
When I've grown cynical again?
If the world falls down around us
To your open arms I'll flee
Seeking solace in the sweetest breath
Where your light is all I see


2) To Envy A Sick Woman


"Last nigh I dreamt my husband
was still alive...........
it was such a nice dream"
See??...... you and I
We are the same.
We both dream of love.
The only difference is
Your's was once real
that's one way I'd
Like to someday feel.

Where's my gun!!
Cause I haven't felt a heart
Since I was a child
My feet are so heavy
I feel like I've been
Like I've been walking for miles.

Searching for something
Maybe I'm not meant to find
Or maybe it's
Just not time.

But the word love....
What does it mean?
In this day and age
Left divided in unequal pieces
What an ugly war it's waged.

I'll always remember what you said.
I think about you a lot
I want what you had
Right now I cannot.

So I hope I dream
Of love tonight
I just want to be near someone
Is that alright??

I'm used to being solitude
That's all I ever known.
But I am so tired
Of being alone.
