To whom do we belong
When no one
Makes a claim to our hearts?
To where do our eyes wander
When no one
Haunts our day dreams?
Where do the winds carry
Our voice when we cry out
In agony
Of want
In misery
Of need
To love and be loved?
Are our hearts
Already claimed
From the start of our consciousness?
When our eyes look to the skies
Does it mean
That someone is looking up too?
Hoping we'll cross the same
Shooting star and catch a ride
To the same point in space
Where we'll finally meet
And fall into an endless embrace;
Forgetting the torment
Of all the past years
The torture of the slow days
The anguish of all
The lonely nights,
Hopefully making it all worth it...
