a story to tell

i wish i had a story to tell
but all had been told
of flower blooms and birds and trees
the sunshines and sunsets
the ripples on the waters
the thunder and the waves

i wish i had a story to tell
to make you laugh or cry
to make you live or die
but you laugh when not told
or cry when tears fall
live as u wish
and die....when
u wish

i wish i had a story to tell
but here i am just watching you
dance like the music is you
live today, leave on the morrow
flaunting the beauty u've been gifted
the body well endowed

i wish i had a story to tell
to let you know before you do
life isn't always as you want it to
to protect you from love
to spare you from pain
to make u see what i have failed

i wish i had a story to tell
but here you are crying on my lap
full of woes on what you had not
i try to speak but you turned your back
and asked me once why did i tell u
not....
