waiting for him to find my hand
whoever it may be
wherever it may be
watching for him to come into view
wanting to be held in that memory
wishing that for all my lives
12
Feeling more than what was offered
drifting in and out of shadows
that I believed to be your embrace
but this happiness has been motionless
crippling my heart, me apart
with thoughts that are emotionless
you are my ruin, you are my undoing
I’ve lost in who I’m choosing
11
my fears now recede by a heart that has moved
and my mind made tranquil in your reflection
my edges are now polished with your embrace
and held motionless
echoing
submerged in your silence
dreaming of collecting sea glass memories along this shore
now nothing is broken
my heart has spoken
for you only
10
been looking at sunsets
wishing it was your eyes
stumbling in the sand
wandering in my thoughts
this ragged soul against a tumbling current
lit up by lost stars along this shore
9
been getting lost in the waves
tired of looking at tomorrows
want to be present in my todays
but time is calling
hoping you’re here, needing you here
8
my jagged heart was safe with the dunes
watched over by a tolerant moon
my island kept me sane
but your tide held me close
take me as I am, whoever I am
7
please don’t let me fall
I’m lost this time
lost in our time
without reasonable reason
my thoughts come crashing down
please take my heart home
its soul wants to go home
6
Can a day go by without questions
Can a day go by without answers
Does everything have to be figured out today right here – right now
Can my nights be free of these in my dreams
Can the stars just shine and say I’ll be fine
Does everything have to be solved right here – right now
Can I just know someday I’ll find my answers
Can I just wake and know my life is mine
Why am I asking questions when I know the answers, can’t I just feel for this life
5
Wanting answers for this soul
that are not yours to reply
But I’m choosing truths that are so shallow
Whose meanings are trying to reach so high
4
Wanting your time to borrow
To try and fill my bones
But I’m chasing a shadow that feels so hollow
Who’s looking for its home
