I can't allow myself
to look forward anymore
Anticipation too
discouraging to absorb
Sometimes lying away awake
Unable to sleep
I can still dream of you
I sat and watched you
Without saying a word
And was happy and proud
To have known you
And terminally sad
Like it seems I always am
Words without sound
Tears without reason
A broke down renegade
Reenergized compassion
And a lyrical soul
Borrowed book of poetry
Comes with a certain spirit
Too kind to believe
Too good to discard
A 1000 thoughts all at once
No one ever meant more
In awe of your inner splendor
Inspired by your attitude (and eyes)
Too much in love
to be able to afford
The feeling again
To pay the price
But all by myself
But not alone
Long ago, far away
You left me behind
The biggest loss of all
Continues to grow
Unconscious on my own
As I tried my best
To move
Move on
Baby steps
One by one
Solo steps
Without a shadow
Because there is no sun
I can still see
And hope you can too
That there are moments
Too precious to endure
Too fiery to forget
This candle can't glow
But it still burns
Obsessive fragrances
Etched in memory
A shadowy silhouette
That dances around
And won't let me be
A sauntering pirouette
That brings a smile
Whenever I see
Anything as beautiful
As I see in you.
