wrong about you

Seriously, over all of that
Firmly grounded and practical
emotionally reserved, not emotionless
it's not always easy to see that
but if you knew, you'd see it
when everything is lost
The last is health, maybe the mind
and which everything is lost
what was left was not important
friendship, responsibility, honesty
personal, to others and mankind
honesty was a casualty
we cannot admit to ourselves
what is really important
it is not about destroying
it is about building
together or apart
if you can't build one castle
you burn down another
you build something, not nothing
were we really builders once
of dreams at least
when did we surrender
our ability to build together
it isn't about selfishness
at some point in the losing
you find that what you own
controls you, its what owns
not who owns what
perhaps who owns who
no one owns anyone else
and you see that applies
to things, to people and relationships
we cannot sit by the phone
because there is no waiting
if its only what you wanted
if its not about anything else
then it will never be right
even if it was never wrong
