Sprinkling of Love

I cannot shield your eyes
From what you want to see
Projection is the enemy
What makes me want to scream
This story, like bread
Leaves its crumblings
Scattered around us
As we lay bare on the floor
Is there ever a single thing
Either of us can do
To keep this from falling
Breaking completely
To pieces at our feet

I try
You try
I think we both try
But here we are again
And again, and again
Why!
I don't understand
Is this your anger showing again
Failing to hide with all
The other emotions you tuck away
Am I losing touch again
With all I vowed to remember
Are we destined to lose
This game we so badly wish to win

I want to make it
I want to go that stretch
But not if I can never
Never help do anything
But cause these feelings in you
You wonder why I don't feel
Good enough at times
It because good for you
Isn't feelings like that
So much of the time
You help me to feel a though
I am good enough
I am the one that can
Make it there with you
Like you want to walk out
The other side of this life
Holding my hand too

But here we are again
And again, and again
Will it ever stop
Will the crumbs ever
Become the glittering
Of love that such throbbing
Passionate feelings
Should leave behind
As a mark on the world
A way of brightening life
And creating a better
Place to live
The kind we would
Sprinkling on kindling
Of our own inspiration

I cannot shield your eyes
From what you want to see
Projection is the enemy
What makes me want to scream
I want to make it
I want to go that stretch
I want to be
The one that can
Make it there with you
