~U Can't~

You can't hold rain behind windows of the sky
You can't walk oceans, yet I'll gladly watch you try.
Tell me what forever means, then say we won't last
For you have every answer to, what You have ever asked.

Lie to me a little, so I'll have faith in the unknown
Tell me of reasons why, two souls still seem alone.
You can't grasp forever, as it's lying in my hands
You can't say the words, 'I'm right' cause I don't understand.

Trade a smile in for a frown, hope it rains on a clear day
You can't sing a tune or dance, but you do on my parade.

Thanks Shannon, usually when I write poetry I think in rhyme and it ends up having a song-like rhythm.

I have some mixed feelings on parts of this, but the second line is gigglicious enough to make me set them aside

Thanks for the comment Stephan...I'm glad "one" line out of this made you somewhat amused, lol.
