are you better from far away
I get lost thinking of you
wandering in time
wondering if it’s real
wishing for the truth
but your lights find me
and lead me back to your heart
10.5
can we be more than this
as far as we can, as long as we can
and lock up our yesterdays
before I’m lost in that time
and if everything else is gone, can we still be happy
can you hear my song
on the edge of this life’s little ledge
and not fall away
before I hear our lullaby one more time
and even if I can’t tell you why, can we still be happy
can my tears hold you
without any reasonable reason
and just be okay
before my heart stops telling time
and you remind me that we have each other, we can still be happy
13
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
