Maybe I was meant to go through all this You were meant to go through it But not together So we could come out of it stronger. Maybe I was meant to deal with this On my own In my own way So I could become The friend you need The sister you need.  ...

Do You Wander With Angels?

Transfixed by that which is clairvoyant, Leaning glass against the wall. We search endlessly for that first kiss But then we want them all. Fought endlessly for truth Justice paid the price.
