Getting Lost
 Jul 2019 L

How easy it is,
To get lost in a universe
that is entirely your own.
it’s easy, trust me.

In the time
that it takes
for
a pin to drop

It all falls apart
and
the voices stop

but
it's the ripples of the
echoes that
******* me

and the waves that

move on through eternity

where the light returns
oh
so silently
across the visions in
my eyes
that no longer
see.

In the time
that it took
for a second look

and the lines
that we read from
a sacred book

It all falls apart
in the time
it takes.

the way down
that
Mary Poppins
could not

You’ve grown tired
Of seeing people’s backs,
Slowly getting small
As they walk away from you.

You see yourself
No longer running,
Staying still
Until the next one comes
And until they leave.
You see yourself
In the middle of nowhere,
Enduring the biting cold,
Enveloped in darkness.
But, still,
You see yourself.

Realize that there is light,
As long as you don’t
lose yourself. Stay still
until one comes
and hold your hand
and not let go.

Someday,
when you'll ask me
"how much do you love me?",
In answer, I will not spread my arms wide.

I will rather wrap them around you
tight,
and will never let you go.

Don't worry
about those who
talk about you
behind your back


they're behind you
for a
reason
