You could have been whatever I yearned <br />But the words were never cared <br />I fell short in so many ways <br />Countless crosses I must bear <br /> <br />Inside I hold you as a child <br />Although you are now a man <br />Have you ever looked over your shoulder? <br />Contemplated about who I am? <br /> <br />You see I never felt quite real <br />As I searched to find my place <br />My heart was never the question <br />It was my own morality I could never embrace <br /> <br />It felt as though I was ebbing away <br />Every day was another disregarded chance, <br />To find out how I got to this place <br />I was lost in consequence <br /> <br />Funny how time and space can clarify <br />Shake the reason from the tree <br />To replay a relationship, long lost <br />Explain my side of things <br /> <br />What would you say to pain? <br />The questions spilling from your lips <br />Could I anticipate the years delayed? <br />Justify why I left <br /> <br />So where in life do you reside? <br />What passions bring a gleam? <br />These conversations we’ve often have <br />Somewhere cast beside my dreams <br /> <br />Oh, only if you could tender pardons <br />Wear these damaged shoes <br />Oh, if God could recognize <br />Release me from this self-abuse <br /> <br />Let my failings be the lesson <br /> A soiled inheritance in legacy <br />Let the past stand for what it is <br />We all disappoint to some degree <br /> <br />Your replies are just out of reach <br />For now it’s my mind that identifies <br />Someday I will know your sense <br />Satisfy what signifies<br /><br />Pablo Cruise<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lost-in-consequence/
