Floating Words

I said “I don’t like this feeling” / Then wondered what I meant / I couldn’t name the thing…

I don’t like to think I’m lonely / But then there come the days / When the shadows seem to linger…

When the stars align / In their cosmic harmony / Tuning to the universe…

Two weeks from next Tuesday / You will find me here / Waiting where I’ve always been…

As the world caves in around us / And the waters start to rise / Will you reach out a hand…

When your eyes touched mine / A cosmic note rang out / Overwhelming my ears with sound…

I have loved you all my life / Since before I knew what love was / Or who you were

On this day ten years ago / I came undone at my seams / Torn apart by you

My lungs are filled with lead / My heart can barely beat / My feet are frozen here

The waves came in quickly / So unexpectedly / Surrounded me and drowned me

I haven’t been out / In what must be twenty years / I’ve been sitting here

I wish I knew a way / To wipe you from my mind / Erase the memory of

I’m dealing with permanent damage / From a temporary love / A deep and lasting scar

If I could make a change / I would do it now / But it is too difficult

Open up my heart / You will find your name / Written in the chambers

Snatch away my breath / Throw it to the wind / Let it linger on your palm a bit

There’s no point / Trying to change / What I’ve already known was coming

Leave me here / I’m as good as dead / My intestines spilling out

I felt holy with you / Like I’d been washed / With some sort of cleansing rain

The sound of rain punctuated / The looks you threw at me / Emphasized the words
