Untitled

Nothing feels right when one realizes it's been to long

my hands misplace thought and these sheets remain empty

These organs fall apart without her underground love

Our late night crossing of eyes, of legs, of lips

Evening's cut short by my idiocy to choose a vision over her sight

I held back from those gifts for far to long

unwilling to share my war with her beautiful landscape

 

Drifting in and out of the world for far to long now

I've been listening in on late night orchestra's

The integral sounds accompanying the few stars I can see before my coming sunrise

A weak acquaintance, unable to open the sky with its melody

It barely does the job and I am left with clouded blue across my front

 

Here, theirs no telling how high I must go to capture

my favorite sight,

the beauty these cities destroy with their fear of everyone elses dark

How I wish they'd all stop believing what they hear for one evening

Maybe then I could reach that moment in her bed again

Two hands painting one masterpiece

crossing lines

We kept closer than I let anyone be

Sharing what not even my elders know

I held another's memories

I held love and pain

 

All forgotten now,

I know

I am more than prepared for the next act.
