listen thru the static
in ure head
clear those thoughts
that lock
me out
come out
from inside ure lead house
put ure mind down
for a minute
&
listen
hold ure breath
&
listen
the mindless drone
the numbing buzz
u call it focus
i call it fear
so
driven
to look beyond the horizon
that u neglect the very sun
that creates it for u
keep moving
maybe it won’t catch u
keep busy
maybe it won’t spot u
that dirty
four lettered word
that keeps ure torch lit for her
do ure eyes
still see her smile
do ure hands
remember her skin
it was a sin
she was so perfect for u
& now solitude has u
all to itself
do u mourn her
or wish her
maybe ure heart’s
too scared to tell
maybe ure mind’s
too full to decide
it’s never a waste
it’s never too late
love
will
find
u
don’t u see
i will sail the seas
of “maybe’s”
& weather the storms
of “should’ves”
to find her
for u
extinguish my lite
relinquish my fight
to find her
for u
i will sit on my hands
for u
spit idle chatter
at u
warm her seat
next to u
swallow my desires
for u
be a substitute
for u
until she returns
for u
then i will rise
for u
& disappear

for

me
