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

3

Hoping the altitudes of this defiant heart

sentenced with those terminal emotions              

will withstand the quicksand of these notions

and feel for this life

2

with such beautiful rhythm –

you were fireworks, brilliant sparks, blinding me so beautifully

showing my solitary shadow walking along the saddest moonlight

can my falling heart ever find its way back to its peaceful prior existence?

always soaring sky high but forever falling into you
