No Longer Here
8.13.04
And I’m here
Beneath the drifting leaves
The blood stained hands
Cannot be erased
Within the herald’s song
But the bitterness fades
Like suppressed scars
Of a life-
No longer here.
And I’m here
Beneath the shadowed lights
Casting their glow amidst the dreary snow
Erasing the marks
Penciled on, but not so permanent
As the falling blood
Like the drifting snow
Of a life-
No longer here.
And we’re here
Beneath the twilight, dancing
For us, for who we are not
Within your arms
Like the wind pressing forth
Out of me, into you
Like the smiles
Of a life-
No longer here.
And you aren’t here
You don’t lie, but you don’t try
There’s a thin line between all that we are-
And all that we should have been
But if you aren’t here
There’s no pain as I breathe in with closed eyes...
Beneath closed eyes, you choose to run
Beneath closed eyes, I watch you hide.
<--- fall into my patterened tears... [return]
<---<--- catch me as i fall? [CS]
