The Necessity

The necessity has come 
Has gone 
All that’s left is
Beyond my grasp, my hold 
It’s gone
It’s gone. 

Make no mistake 
I needed all 
But holding on
Wasn’t me 
Wasn’t
What I could become 
No, no 
Not at all.

Wonder Why

Did you ever wonder why
We did the things we thought
The things we did?

No one else could tell
How it would go
It would smell
No one said or did they yell.

Then its over, we could tell
No morse code
No Hail Mary
Or playing William Tell.

All’s gone, all that’s left
Is the wonder why
We did the things we thought
The things we did
So well.
