paradoxy

I try to speak, but you don't hear,
You're far away, although you're near,
The words get tangled on the way,
And you hear things I did not say …

Crossed wires
Why is it so hard to make you hear?
Crossfire
A battle-zone where meanings are unclear.

Crossed wires
You mistake everything I say,
Crossfire
And you're driving me away…

You can’t believe the good of my intent,
My energy is all but spent,
And every time I try to speak,
The effort leaves me drained and weak.

Crossed wires
You are the lover of my heart!
Crossfire
Why must these words drive us apart?

Crossed wires
I wish that I could make you hear…
Crossfire
But instead I sit in tears….

Crossfire

I want to pull you close to me,
Open your eyes so you will see,
That all I want for you is bliss,
But every time I try I miss…

Crossed wires
If only you could see my heart,
Crossfire
Then words could never make us part,

Crossed wires
Then we could fly up to the sun,
Crossfire
And forever be as one.
