Sometimes

Sometimes I forget I'm alone
With your voice still echoing in my ear
I forget sometimes I'm alone
While listening on the phone
While wiping rain that looks like tears
I tell myself they are not fears
I try to forget how sometimes I'm so alone

Sometimes

Sometimes I forget I'm alone
Is your voice still in my ear?
Sometimes I forget I'm alone
Will I listen for my phone?
Wiping off rain that like tears
I tell myself I'm not afraid
Sometimes I try to forget how much I'm alone

My Past

My past

A dark corridor

Is where eternity lies

Wrought with sorrow

Pain and Sighs,

You bright up my life in

Like the sun in mid June

Like the sky fills the moon

An illusion of an oasis

You go and disappear

The sorrow in my ribs

Again begins to sear

I guess I’ll never know

The treasure I have found

Until it disappears,

Without trace or sound

The light up ahead

Will guide me home

Never again shall I forget

Where I‘ve come from

Why

Why

Why do you go where I cannot follow?

This path is not one I trod lightly

I promised to go where you lead

But the behavior you choose is quite unsightly

I feel lied to remembering the things you said

Time will pass people will forget

I’m an elephant though, I never will

The scars you’ve left will heal so slowly

It’s amazing how raw a cut can feel

Reduce me to feeling so incredibly lowly

Mayhap one day I’ll smile and laugh

Remembering a look or a glance or a grin

Right now the scars are too fresh, too raw

To notice anything ready to begin

I must wait for my heart to thaw
