woke up slow this
morning to quiet walls and a sunlight flood.
this place it seems so empty
and
everything except for this wait has left me.
try not to dwell on this time.
how long
can it last?
hold your breath and close
your eyes.
the pain will pass.
try to
rise above the distance of all that you want
and soon you'll know the why.
why and
for what.
for the sake of a love like no
other.
for something we've never known.
for the hope of another chance at
happiness.
we forsake.
i've watched
the colors fade where windows cast their
shape.
the same way i have changed in the
light of these dark days.
i believe in
happiness and in love that never fails
but
the longer i wait here the more they just seem
like a fairy tale.
i need you to save
me.
you seem beyond a stones throw.
helpless hands tied.
i try but this
garden's overgrown on the inside.
try to
rise above the distance of all that i want and
remember the why.
why and for what
