June 13th, 2023 One can dream
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
I cut this final cord. So why do I still feel bound? Oh, another cord.
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
I mourn not for what we had, I mourn for a future lost. A foundation laid of promises, Promises that now seem so easily b… I cry not for this loneliness,
It’s easy to tell someone, “Just move on”, When you weren’t the one In their shoes. It’s easy to tell someone,
A sudden Good-Bye Is not a finality But a paused Hello
Long-lost souls unite, Tears of joy in heartfelt hugs, Reunion’s embrace.
The longer I wait for you The more I prolong this pain The longer you wait to speak The more distant I become The more I heal
Help me to understand it Help open up my eyes I’m trying to move past it But I can’t seem to see why When we’re together
You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
Waste my time Or break my heart You don’t get both
I pray you don’t find These words of pain from my heart I’m broken right now
It’s not the familiarity It’s not the loneliness It’s not the memories It’s not the safety It’s not the comfortability
Were your reasons true? Were they for me or for you? Was there really nothing we could… I wonder. Why was it easier to hide?
Do not mistake my silence, For absence. I will always be there for you. Always. But I must be here for myself,
