"If We Ever Break through the Stars" by James Durante
If we ever break through the stars it’ll be beautiful.
If we ever break through this universe it’ll be beautiful
I never questioned that the absence of loved figure would leave any one disturbed
But in the absence of a presence in your eyes I confirmed
Back in the day when loving was still pretty
When the sky didn’t hold light, it was in this city
Grit my teeth because smiling was never my duty
It was an obligation.
But what I learned is that 1 – 1 is better then 1 1
When you can’t even figure out the equation
But I never questioned that it comes
Your expectations are way too high
That’s why
If you fall
You expect me to catch you
But I’m this high.
Neck up and chin up in my own clouds.
These quiet winds blow your name
And
Every time I hear redundant repetition,
Realize my lover’s revolution, and relate to sinners retribution
I
Pause.
If we ever break through the stars it’ll be beautiful, I don’t question beauty
It we ever break through this universe it’ll be beautiful, appreciating it is not my duty
I hope you weep when you look in the mirror
And see your broken image,
I hope you break your halo in two
And in those < parentheses 3 you show your wicked gimmicks
It’s not that I hate you.........its not that I hate you
It’s that I can’t learn to love you.........I can’t learn to love you
Because if I loved you.........oh I can love you
What would hate do?.........What would my hate do?
We’re all just blades of grass in this field of life
Catching a tear of a dew every now and then
We weep for a lost one, break for a loved one.
But in another time we get one again.
If we ever break through the stars it’ll be beautiful, I don’t question beauty
It we ever break through this universe it’ll be beautiful, appreciating it is not my duty
But my oh my, why must I
But MY OH MY, WHY MUST I?
Why must I dwell in these caves?
Hide in that space
Always think of your face
And step through my own disgrace
Together alone we shall mourn,
for our once happy story is no more
Essence keeps a firm grip,
Memories will suffocate my dreams
she’ll be so sadly missed
But not dismissed
Because this misses was my most lucky risk.
No one appreciates the effort
Only sees the time spent
Never sees the sadness
But wonders where the love went
NO ONE APPRECIATES THE EFFORT
ONLY SEES THE TIME SPENT
NEVER SEES THE SADNESS
BUT WONDERS WHERE THE LOVE WENT
Where did love go?
If we ever break through the stars it’ll be beautiful
It we ever break through this universe it’ll be beautiful
I don’t question beauty, it only moves me.
But if we do break through our own hearts
appreciating is my duty.
