Stunned silent, with a black hole ******* out the air from my lungs.
Left in a daze, screeching tires and the
rumble of an unsympathetic engine.
It had been a year, but it felt like a universe could have been born
and destroyed in the time you were gone;
A year spent glancing into rooms and tiptoeing around crowds
expecting to see the glimmer of gold,
but being greeted by a hollow reflection,
lost, looking for Home.
Did you know that i've been waiting for you?
Stuck in a tenth circle of hell
where people who love who they shouldn't
bleed sure streams of red to write letters that will never be sent
after the ink bottle has been emptied.
The lonely bench, the empty rooms.
Do you even remember how it felt
when you would look into my eyes and smile that clueless smile?
I sure as hell do.
