why do you feel that way?
what is the source
of your dismay?
was there a seed planted
that suddenly grew
into the sad
person that’s you?
where can you
lay your head?
where the heart
by the moon
is led.
where can you feel
secure,
when the wolves
are at the door?
who will hold
and protect you?
who will keep
the world at bay?
who understands
the reasons
that you feel
this way?
who will steal
minutes
from the hour glass
allowing you to rest
until the hours pass?
who will alter time,
who will absorb the sea?
what mountains
will you climb
until you get to me?
what is
that sound you hear
when silence
calls my name?
what echoed
in your ear
when tomorrow never came?
why can’t you look back?
because you cannot see
that of all the things you lack
the most important one
is me

today feels
exactly
like yesterday.
but
it’s not.

time has carried
you further away
from what you
have forgot

what memories
are you chasing?
to what do you
seek to cling?

the sound
of footsteps pacing,
someones
wedding ring

tolling bells
that fill the air
when do
the angels sing?

a beginning
and an end
they both came
too soon

yet, I seek you out
when ere
I see the
moon

down the tunnel
of yesterday
the light must carry pieces
of what it feels like
to be sad

it resonates
in ways unspoken
just to reassure
you’ve lost something
you had

yet, as always,
time sings its songs
in dream specific keys

as I search
for your wandering spirit
among my memories

even though i know
it’s only me
even though i know
the sun will rise
even though i know
you’ll never see
the tears that well up
in my eyes

even though i know
that you exist
even though i know
the sun will set
even though i know
we’ve never kissed
the air you breath
will not forget

how close it came
to your beating heart
how near it was
to the core of you
how sad it was
to depart
the only thing
in life that’s true

even though i know

even though i know

even though i know

that i
am like the air

for what can i do
if i don’t have

you
