I Need To Know

I can’t keep you happy
I can’t let you go
No one can say the things
I need to know.

Bow my head in anguish
Raise it in joy
Move forward, telling
No one where or what
I need to know.

Telling No One

Telling no one
The sights I’ve seen
Good or bad they are now forever
Planted in my scheme of things
No help on the way
No rescue net in place
Moving, marching forward
Telling no one
What I’ve seen.
