In time
In Time
To be understood, that’s all I needed.
To be touched, not just skin-deep but
soul deep.
But I was never truly seen.
My eyes dulled
hollowed.
Yours… gone.
I watched from behind
invisible bars
As you kept living.
A
hollow man,
buried in memories.
Stuck in the past,
Convicted by what I did,
By what we were,
By your love,
your promises.
And I still wonder…
Did God turn His face from me?
Did
your eyes ever really care?
Was I just a stepping stone on your cruel little journey?
“I love you,”
I whispered,
Heart still waiting for you to
come home.
Mind frozen in time,
A relic
waiting to be remembered.
12am and a cupa latte does it.
