I look at the clock
immediately knowing
the time here and there.
Before I consider my next step,
before I plan my activities,
before my next breath,
I wonder, anticipate, guess,
Where is she now?
Working, shopping, dinner,
waking up, out with friends.
Only one thing in my mind,
to look into your eyes,
to hold your hand,
to touch your lips with mine
is all I could ever want.
Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings a tune without words
And never stops at all.
I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea
Yet, never, in extremity
It ask a crumb of me.
I can't run far enough to run into your arms.
I can't scream loud enough for you to turn around.
And I can't climb high enough to see you again,
No matter how much I wish I could.
I can't erase our past mistakes.
I can't make the world a transparent place.
And I can't set you free from your fear,
No matter how much I wish I could.
I can't relive those moments in your diary.
I can't find you at the bottom of a bottle.
And I can't catch you when you stumble and fall,
No matter how much I wish I could.
I can't stop thinking about what may have been.
I can't always say what you want me to.
And I can't change myself to fit your puzzle,
No matter how much I wish I could.
I can't smell your hair anymore.
I can't taste you on my lips anymore.
And I can't gaze at the smile that melts my heart,
No matter how much I wish I could.
I can't breathe in your last exhale.
I can't hold your face in the palms of my hands.
And I can't get lost in your eyes again,
No matter how much I wish I could.
I can't be anything more than fallible.
I can't be anything less than a lover's fool.
And I can't change the way I feel about you,
No matter how much I wish I could.
For some unreasoned reason
After raking leaving thoughts
I find myself lost
At a loss
Left bereft
And I just can't seem
To stop thinking
And start thinking
About
Not about you...
You creeping
Walking
Man-thing
I HATE you
With my totaled heart
And with all my other parts
But my mind
My divided, blindsided mind
I LOVE you
For some unreasoned reason.
Take my hand,
lead me to your heart.
I will hold your love
forever in my soul.
The pain you feel,
I will wash away with joy.
I have finally found you
without looking you were there.
I cannot leave,
our love is so true.
I never knew
I could feel this way.
Promise me this
that you will never leave.
I can't bear the thoughts
of days without you there.
Love me forever
and my life will be yours eternally.
I took you for granted, and I'm sorry for that.
You gave me everything I ever wanted and needed.
I should have held on, but I let go.
I shoved you away when I wanted you to come closer.
Yesterday I looked at myself in the mirror.
Today, I just pass it by,
not even realizing... I had no reflection.
