Where did you go?
I wonder did you know
that through the windows of your soul,
deep inside that heart,
a safe that you kept many fragments
of hurt locked within,
I saw beneath. I saw forever in you.
Did you know that you made me feel
for the only time in my life?
Wherever the moon followed I would race.
Did you know that I was cursed to feel hollowed.
That lies would see the lines of my dreams swallowed
Cursed to forever see your face
like someone had taken a permanent marker
and scrawled it on the moon.
Did you know
that I stopped believing in love?
That it wasn't meant to be.
Not part of my story,
from this moment on, love wasn't for me.
I stopped feeling the wind blow,
I didn't notice the way flowers would grow.
I stopped tasting the sweet dew of life on my lips.
A pieced of me had slipped
between the cracks on the universal pathway.
The sign said give way.
So, I stopped and let life flow away.
It's easy to say, that memories fade,
that hearts mend,
but what if you see a memory
in the way a tree bends,
It's harder to mend the mind
that sees the world through eyes of tormented seas.
We fanned flames
provoking that desire within,
a fire that shouldn't be burning,
but sometimes you need
to let the heat touch your skin,
and to not love, when love is all I hold inside,
would make me a lie of a man.
For a brief time, those two hearts, aflutter,
burned brighter than the sun.
To see if the cracks in the walls
of reality would really shatter.
Powering the earth's turn for everyone.
It was a non-starter in the long run,
We were too different like a diamond and a joker,
two cards in an almost infinite deck.
We played our hands. Watched leaves fall.
Kindling for a hot wakeup call
and I'd never change it,
because love sometimes has to be a part of the story after all
Even if in the end that love leaves you
with an empty hand, and no cards to shuffle.
Thanks for reading
