"The mark of a really
great writer is that he or she gives expression to what the masses of
mankind think or feel without knowing it. The mediocre writer simply
writes what everyone would have said."

Validations
By Greg Stahl and Kevin Wiser
You
think you see it in her eyes
But you know it will never last
You watch it spark and fade away
Like thunderheads
In an uncertain summer sky
And you tell youself
And you tell yourself
And you tell yourself
There's no such thing
Her finger slips along your arm
Touching feelings passed
You feel it drift and melt away
Like snow
In an early thaw
And you tell yourself
And you tell yourself
And you tell yourself
There's no such thing
You think you hear it in her voice
But you know inflections change
You hear it once and then it wanes
Like a fade
In a sad, soft song
And you tell yourself
And you tell yourself
And you tell yourself
There's no such thing
You may have found it in her heart
But realization dawns
In the end you're all you'll have
Like an orphan
On a solo singer's stage
And you tell yourself
And you tell yourself
And you tell yourself
There's no such thing
You think you see it in her eyes
But you know it will never last
You watch it grow and then decay
Like autumn leaves
On a gold-to-dust day
And you tell yourself
And you tell yourself
And you tell yourself
There's no such thing
