Am I just a token?
Am I a ghost only visible to you?
Clock strikes ten and the day is done.
We move further away and the pictures come out to play.
The gaps in the silence grow immensely and change is in the harsh wind.
It's only a matter of time until you leave.
The films rewind to yesterday.
The stars hide their light and I am lost.
I cannot go home.
Where do I belong?

Could we run to the ends of the earth?
I can still see you running in the field against the pale moonlight.
I can't chase you anymore,Darling.
You were my familiar, you were my home.
I wanted to reach out for you but instead I pushed you away.
Pain has changed me and I'm back to where I started.
I knew it was over when I could not rise to meet your eyes.
I shouldn't dwell on the memories but they used to sustain me.
If only, I had made another choice, a different route
then you would be untarnished by my destructive touch.
You can't lose yourself if you never met me.
I can finally accept my sins and let my demons consume me whole.
All we have left are these hollow words.

I kneel on the ground desperately searching in the ashes and embers of who I used to be. The flecks of falling memories whisper and whirl lightly around me.
If I can find a fragment within these piles of haunted bones. Perhaps, then I can change what has been done and undo my damaging blunders.
Time is frozen here in my own perpetual limbo. I don't wish to go forward but back to a time when I was blissfully naive and innocent, not bitter and tragic.
Yet, day after day, I'm doomed to repeat this infinite process and never become the husk of my past self.
Words have gone and I'm left in the maddening solitude.

The car rattles along and the cityscape comes into sight. The city bustles with life and I watch the never-ending whirlwind of characters in a motion picture show. The flickers of city light diffuses and casts a shine on the photographic opportunities.
I see you and how you are oblivious to your own enchanting and radiant soul.
You are more stunning than the stars, yet also unattainable and heartbreakingly beautiful to gaze upon. I hope someday you achieve your goal of happiness and that you meet someone truly worthy of you. All I want to do is embrace you, ease your pain, carry your sorrows and share your joys. However, I know that I will never have the privilege.

I sense something on the horizon that beckons and pulls me in. Do I resist or investigate the call? I hope that in the future, I don’t instigate a further parting of ways. The only thing that would compel me to do that would be if that I were to cause you great harm emotionally in some way, intentionally or not. I will endeavor to the best of my ability not to. But like everyone else I’ve ever known, I might still push you away.

You are so wonderful to me but how am I even worth of being a part of your life? I don’t understand and I’ll try not to disappear. Honestly, you would be better off if I did.
In the future we might walk right past each other and in a flash we become strangers again. Sadly, all of our history and time together have ceased to be. Of course, I will inevitably be the one to blame. Oh Darling but it was worth the while.

Hours and hours dwindle by, nights lost,
memories made and conversations until the sun rises.
You didn’t want me in the light of day.
Days and years go by and we still ignore the forgotten truth.
I accept and deny but it’s worth it to see you smile again.
My wasted heart shall keep me company.
I have moved on and time has helped me heal a little.
All I want to do is shatter in a million pieces
but I suppose that I’m stuck in
this kaleidoscope of an impossible fantasy.

There is no one to run to now,
the lights have dimmed,
I can’t see the stars anymore,
they have lost their comforting shine,
I need time to mourn the loss of what could have been,
I’m such a fool, I took a risk,
maybe I can learn to forgive myself but I can’t forget,
I wouldn’t trade an iota of this pain because at least then I can feel something
and not be numb,
where reality differs from imagination,
I must refrain from looking back at the past,
the magic diminishes and familiar places are tarnished,
we must start anew,
as the facade disintegrates,
I’m left with my small semblance of self,
I will cast the walls back up again and keep my heart in its cage,
run as far as you can from this tragic kaleidoscope,
get too close and you will get cut by the shattered pieces,
as time fleets, I will pick up my pieces and try my best to move on.
