Reflections
By Ian G. Clifton

I need a girl
With whom I can confide
'Cause all my secrets
Are burning me up inside
Lately I've just been
Talking to the wall
But it's not talking back
Not at all
I stare at the sky
At the stars and the moon
I don't know their language
But I hope to soon
Everything reminds me
Of something meant to be
That is great
But what about me?
The jigsaw puzzle
Looks so complete
I was the extra piece
Lost under your feet
Alone in a crowd
Crowded in thoughts alone
I hope someday
I will feel at home
One time I went back
And home was gone
I hope that someday
I'll have the strength to move on
And my cat
She tries to console
But she cannot heal
What she does not know
I want to open my heart
But I lost the key
So where's the one
Who can find it for me?
The past few years
I've needed her more every day
Every time I think I found her
She walks away
I don't object
Or say a word
All my thoughts
Are left unheard
Can't you see it
In my eyes
The pleas, the pain
The inside cries?
I grit my teeth
And bar the door
No one can get in
Not anymore
But I guess
If you were the key
You'd step right up
And open me
Maybe that's just a fantasy
Maybe that's just my only hope
Maybe that's just a possibility
Maybe that's just the way I cope
But if you're out there
Please give me a sign
Let me know we're perfect
And you would be mine
('cause)
Lately I've just been
Talking to the wall
But it's not talking back
Not at all
(I tell it)
I need a girl
With whom I can confide
'Cause all my secrets
Are burning me up inside
