Floating Words

Do you enjoy the moments

The ones that slip between

The cracks and dents

Can you see through

My glass cage heart

The one I drained for you…

People ask me what I’m looking for, and I’ll say “I don’t know.”

But I do.

I know exactly.

In another life

I would love you up close

Instead of from afar…

If you knew what it meant

To be loved by you

I promise you you’d never…

I cannot fall in love with you

Because I’ll never stop

Even if it ends

Hold on to me forever

I will take it day by day

Promise that you’ll never go

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
