Backyard Of My Mind

In the backyard of my mind
there lies this garden that died
the day that you decided to change the tide.
The day that you decided that you didn't need me
was the day I realized that I could clearly see
that the person you feel you can trust most in your life
is the one that can end up bringing you the most strife.
Well, I’m glad you've moved on, because I've moved on too,
but there are still feelings I have that I’ll always hold on to.
My first feelings of love... the first time we kissed...
are both memories that could never be dismissed.
They couldn't be forgotten even if I tried
and they linger with me, still, even after I died.
I woke up the next day to find that memories hide
On the other side of the fence in the backyard of my mind.

When a tree dies it leaves behind a seed
that eventually through time becomes another tree
that’ll grow to become bigger than the one it precedes,
but it still feeds off the same sustenance the other tree needs.
I've realized the key to life is death and rebirth;
it’s the thing that keeps all living things alive on this Earth.
The living eat the dead and the dead become the living,
and once you realize this you’ll find that death is life-given.
The commotion in my ocean of emotion is in motion.
The evolution of creation creates revolutionary explosion
of thought patterns and feelings, love, art, music, and healing.
Everything in between creates a human actually being.

I know our love will never be back on track,
but I lost my best friend that night and I want her back.
Why did I lose you, what the hell did I do?
I did nothing in that relationship but unconditionally love you.
This isn't a plea for love;
it’s a request for rekindled friendship
that went wrong one day,
because of some unforeseeable glitch.
If these words mean anything to you
then I guess that I’ll hear from you soon.
If not, I’ll just turn the other cheek and
I’ll see you on the "Dark Side of the Moon".
