I wish I could be there with you
so many times
and many ways

I just want to
reach out to you
but I know
it is not my place

a place where you would lie
pretend to care
and one day break my heart

and if you asked me to
I would be there
but for the grace of god

my hope
begins to grow again
a bloom
still tightly furled

one time
you were my world
but I know
there are many worlds

I think about you all the time
it's messing with my head
I wish that I
would rather think
of something else instead

and I can't stop this train of thought
no matter what I do
but I don't want to write
another poem
about you

you're broken
like a mirror
that my shadow falls onto

but we should thank the gods
they thought to cut
our soul in two

come on
be strong
and on and on
and still I long for you

you're wrong
you don't belong
how long till I belong to you?

and though I know
I must let go
it's oh so slow to do

and it is tearing out my soul
the one I stole
from you

still holding on
though this is far too sharp
to hold onto

how long until I can move on
and say so long
to you?

there is a darkness in us all
unseen behind our eyes

silent as a shadow falls
ancient as the sky

and though we shroud our souls in light
and hide behind the flames

sometimes
softly
in the night

the darkness calls our name

your silence
moves me
further away from you
and closer to
him

I will resist
not for you
but for me

he
is poison

this is a cold place
it's not just the weather
I used to believe
I'd stay here forever

somewhere the sea whispers
its siren song
deep down in my soul
I want to be warm
