I’ll forever be alone
Trapped in the cruel prison of my mind
Where every thought is solely mine
Or so I believe to be true
Even when I’m lost in oblivion with you
My socks are wet and cold
From the puddles that surround me
Yet there is a bliss
Maybe it’s the hypothermia kicking in
But I’m finally happy
The little specks in the world
Mean so much to me
For what is the world without tiny specks?
Hold me close
Whatever happens next
Promise me you won’t forget
You will never think the way I think
And I will never understand the way you think
To a degree, none of us are the same
We’ll never be the same
You’ll never understand me
Hell, I don’t even understand myself
For if I saw a carbon copy of myself I’d probably scream
If you were to unravel my mind you’d see a fading beauty,
With its edges tainted by charcoal
Consumed by the fire
Not everything could be preserved
Vanished like the great works of Alexandria
As your mind wanders into the vast forest of life
Will you remember me as you are shivering in the shadows?
As you bathe in the sunlight surrounded by wildflowers?
As you’re hiding in a cave in what feels like your final hours?
As you are at the top the largest tree looking down,
King of the World?
As you take another to embrace?
With your hands upon her waist?
Will you remember my face?
The blackberries, how bittersweet they taste?
Love is priceless, but nothing is free
So what is really the cost?
We bunkered up in a birdhouse
But winter has passed
And we have to move on
For we were already consumed by the frost
So here I say farewell
Please embrace me once more as I crumble
In the ice, our love will be preserved until the end of time
And I'll forever remember when I had your heart
And you had mine
I will be consumed by what it could’ve been
But deep down, we both know here it must end
April Showers
Bring May flowers
But April is awfully long
